It will also help introduce the new generation to the beauty of nature and the importance of being in touch with local folk tales.

The shooting of the film took place at different locations in Gazipur.

The film was assisted by Juboraj Shamim, known for his directorial film, “Adim”. “Aam Kathaler Chhuti” stars Jubayer, Leon, Arif, Halima, Tanjil, Fatema, and many others.

The film premiered at the Jogja-Netpac Asian Film Festival in Indonesia last year.
