Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Saturday said that the extraordinary film ‘Mujib: The Making of a Nation’ about the life of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the birth of a nation will remain as a document of history, reports UNB.

He said this while speaking as the chief guest at the censor certificate handing over ceremony of the film ‘Mujib: The Making of a Nation’, jointly produced by the Governments of Bangladesh and India at Hotel Intercontinental in the capital on Saturday evening. 

Mentioning that this film can give a lot to those who want to know Bangabandhu, to know the history of the liberation struggle of the Bengalees, the minister said that the way Bangabandhu’s life, the liberation struggle of the Bengalees and the tragic events of 1975 have been portrayed in three hours, there is the difference between the film director’s excellence with other directors. “Thanks to Shyam Benegal!”

Hasan Mahmud said, “I’m deeply grateful to Bangabandhu’s daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for giving her sincere time in the making of this film amid indescribable tight schedule. I have already had the privilege of watching the film with the Prime Minister.”

Thank you again to director Shyam Benegal and the performers, background artistes for making such a film that is worth watching in one breath, Hasan added.

Chief Information Commissioner Dr Abdul Malek, cultural personality and former minister Asaduzzaman Noor, actors Arifin Shuvo, Nusrat Imrose Tisha, Dilara Zaman, Raisul Islam Asad, Chanchal Chowdhury, Khairul Alam Sabuj, Fazlur Rahman Babu, among others, were present on the occasion.
