Jannatul Nayeem Avril became the first champion in the Miss World Bangladesh Competition in 2017. But the organisers took away her crown for the crime of hiding information about her previous marriage. She has been saying repeatedly that I am a victim of child marriage. Yet, the critics did not leave her alone. Avril is still facing various obstacles.

Producer Noman Robin is making a movie about the life struggle of Avril. The name of the movie is ‘Miss Whore bangladesh’.  Avril herself will be acting in the story based on her life. About this, director Noman Robin said, "A girl was crowned the previous day and it was snatched away on the next day. 

Maybe she was wrong to do so, when she comes on live and admits to her mistakes and says that she was a victim of child marriage, still she is subjected to criticism. She has been tortured as a teenager in various ways. There are still many obstacles she has to face. Then some people mistreat her, call her a bad girl. 

How does that person feel then? How does she live? We do not want to forget about her mistakes and let her build a new life. Our film is based on this inhuman crime.” 

Noman Robin interviewed Avril's parents, locals, teachers before making the movie. He even interviewed the groom for three hours on secret camera. The film’s screenplay has been written over the past one year. 

Noman added, “Avril came to me a year ago and told me the story of her life. She tells me to get another actor to act her role. But I tried convincing her to act in it. After not willing to act for a long time finally she gave in to our requests and has now agreed to act in it.”

However, after preparing everything the work of Miss Whore Bangladesh is currently at a stalemate because of lack of a producer and also the lockdown created by coronavirus crisis. 

However, a poster of the film has already been published. In it is seen the face of a woman wearing a crown of beauty pageant and tears running down from one of her eyes. 

She is wearing a tape on her mouth on which is written #ME TOO. There are several social media comments on the poster and news cuttings and has nail scratch marks on her shoulders.
