Final version of the highly-anticipated film “Mujib: The Making of a Nation” will be screened for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina before it is formally released later this year, Indian sources said.
“I think Shyam Benegal and his team have almost completed the film’s shooting, editing and the computer graphics,” Arindam Bagchi, official spokesperson at the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, said.
While briefing reporters in New Delhi last night (September 7, 2022), Bagchi said they are looking at a date towards the end of the year. “We’ll let you know once we have a fix on that.”
