Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur and his Bangladeshi counterpart Dr Hasan Mahmud have jointly released a 90-second intriguing trailer of the India – Bangladesh co-production feature film on ‘Bangabandhu’. The film is named Mujib – The Making of a Nation and has been directed by Shyam Benegal.

Addressing the audience on the occasion, Mr. Anurag Thakur said, the movie, while being a co-production of India and Bangladesh, was an initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said the movie is a gift on birth centenary of Bangabandhu Shekh Mujibur Rahman. Commenting on the struggles in the making of the movie, Mr Thakur said that when the world was going through a challenging time during the COVID pandemic, the work on the movie went on. He cited the movie as an example of good neighbourly ties.

He thanked both Prime Minister Modi and Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina for taking this initiative. This year being the 75th anniversary of India’s independence and India being the Country of Honour at Marche du Film, there could be no better opportunity to release the trailer and put the friendship of India and Bangladesh on display, the Union Minister added. He thanked the entire Bangladesh delegation for attending the ceremony
