It also tells the story of Reshma Begum, one of the tragedy's survivors.
In 2014, when the film first encountered a ban from the censor board, Nazrul filed a petition in the High Court.
Although the film received clearance on 11 July 2015, a ban on its screening was imposed again the day before its scheduled release on 24 August.
The ordeal took a toll on Nazrul, who suffered a stroke and lost hope for the film's release.
However, with the advent of a new interim government in the country, Nazrul Islam Khan has renewed hope that the film will finally receive censor clearance.
