Initially set to be released on October 21, the film is now scheduled to be released on October 27, according to the film's lead actress Sohana Saba.
As per media reports, the decision was made due to the countrywide screening of the Arifin Shuvoo starrer Shyam Benegal film 'Mujib: The Making of a Nation' which is currently running successfully across the theatres.
"Our great Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's life is brilliantly portrayed in the film and we want our moviegoers to watch the movie, thus we are delaying our film 'Ashomvob' a bit - however, it will be in theatres very soon, and we want to release the film in maximum theatres," the actress-turned-filmmaker said in a recent interview.
Songs featured in this film are written by late eminent lyricist Gazi Mazharul Anwar, and it also features the iconic song 'Moder Gorob Moder Asha', penned by Atul Prasad Sen.
