He was Acting Police Super of Debiganj Police Station in Panchagarh during the War of Liberation. He joined the liberation war on March 27, lifting the national flag of red and green. He was assassinated on June 1 of the same year. In this movie I played the role of freedom fighter Abdul Quader Mia. Moushumi will be seen as my wife. Her character in the movie is named Firoza. She is very politically aware.”

I am happy to play the role of a liberation war hero. Three days of shooting have been done. We are all very happy to be involved with this movie team as the work is getting pretty good. I believe everyone will come to enjoy the film.”
