Last year, India and Bangladesh joined hands for a film on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to mark his birth centenary in 2020. With his mastery over the craft and insightful storytelling, acclaimed filmmaker Shyam Benegal was entrusted the responsibility to helm the biopic.
The director, who has been putting the building blocks together since, indicates that the movie may not roll before the year-end. "I am keeping my fingers crossed. The quicker we start, the better it is for us. But it doesn't seem that [we may be able to roll] this year. It has been such an unusual year that one can't predict anything," says Benegal.
