Production
The movie was expected to be released in 2011, but due to Film Censor Board problems, it failed to do so. In December 2012, it got clearance from Bangladesh Film Censor Board after cutting some scenes about which the board showed concern considering public sentiment. Scenes portraying Chunilal character wearing ‘coatee’, usually worn on Punjabi or kurta in the Indian subcontinent, ‘looked like a Mujib coat’ (a kind of black waist coat used by the country’s founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman) to some members of the censor board and asked to cut those.[9]
