Farooki’s ‘No Land’s Man’ stars noted Indian actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui and popular Bangladeshi singer-actor Tahsan Rahman Khan in the lead roles, narrating the theme of social discrimination in terms of race, religion, and nationality.

The film was also showcased at the Melbourne International Film Festival and is now scheduled for the upcoming BFI London Film Festival.
