"We are hoping to interest distributors in Cannes, because that's the largest collection of world
distributors who come there than any other festival in the world," Benegal said.

The film was shot in various locations of Bangladesh and India during the pandemic with Covid 19
precautions.

Alongside starring Arifin Shuvoo as Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the film also stars Nusrat Imrose Tisha as Bangabandhu's wife Sheikh Fazilatunnessa Mujib, Nusraat Faria Mazhar as Sheikh Hasina, Riaz Ahmed as Tajuddin Ahmed, and Elina Shammi as Khaleda Zia among others.
