Production

Background

Until 2016, many people wanted to make a film based on the life story of Bangabandhu, but their initiative was not successful.[note 2] Even before the production of this film, there was a demand to make a biographical film of Bangabandhu as a state initiative.[17] Actor Raj from East Pakistan announced to make a film about him titled Bangabandhu in 1970.[18] In an interview given to the weekly Chitrali in 1988, Farooque revealed his plan to make a film about Mujib.[19] It was reported by India Today in 2008[20] that Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury planned to make a film about Bangabandhu titled The Poet of Politics. It was rumored that it would be directed by Shyam Benegal and Amitabh Bachchan would be cast as the main character in the film. However, the film was not made.[21][17] In 2010, Vibgyor Films had planned to make a film about Bangabandhu in Hollywood. It was learned that the shooting of the film was scheduled to start in 2011.[22] Giasuddin Selim wanted to make a film based on The Unfinished Memoirs, an autobiography book of Mujib, but he backed out due to lack of budget.[23] On 3 December, 2015, the then Minister of Cultural Affairs named Asaduzzaman Noor officially announced the Hasina governmentTemplate:`s desire to make a biopic of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. He also said that his ministry has discussed the matter with the Prime Minister and she has given the green signal.[24] Later, Narendra Modi, the Indian prime minister, informed to the Bangladeshi prime minister named Sheikh Hasina the desire to produce a film on the life of her father by his government. His proposal was liked by her.[25] However, in that time, Hasina suggested to Modi that Bangladesh should jointly produce the proposed film with India.[26] On 17 August 2016, Venkaiah Naidu, the then information minister of India, declared the acceptance of the proposal to assist the production of the biographical film of Bangabandhu by the then information minister of Bangladesh Hasanul Haq Inu.[27] On 8 April 2017, in the presence of Sheikh Hasina at the Hyderabad House in New Delhi, Narendra Modi officially announced the joint-production of the film.[28]

Development

Cry "Havoc", and let slip the dogs of war.

On 27 August 2017, an agreement was signed between the Government of Bangladesh and India in the capital of India. One of the purposes of the agreement was to make a film on Bangabandhu.[29] In 18 March 2018, the Government of Bangladesh announced that the preliminary work of making the film would start from that year.[21] A film committee was formed with 19 people from Bangladesh and India to implement the film project. The coordinator of the committee was the additional secretary of the Ministry of Information of Bangladesh.[30] Hasanul Haq Inu organized several meetings regarding Bangabandhu's biopic during his tenure as Information Minister. Film directors and experts participating in the meetings gave their opinion in favor of directing the film by any director of the country. So it was initially decided that the film would be directed by Nasiruddin Yousuff.[31] But the film committee chose Shyam Benegal as the director when three directors from India were nominated in July 2018[32] to direct the film.[note 3][34] Shyam Benegal accepted the offer to direct the film as he felt that the main character of the film was an interesting character in his time.[25][note 4] On 27 August 2018, Tarana Halim officially announced his name as the director of the film on behalf of the Government of Bangladesh.[36] In 2019, it was announced that a three-member expert team from Bangladesh would be formed to assist the film's director. It was decided that the team would include a historian, an acquaintance of Mujib and an experienced film personality.[32] On 1 April 2019, Shyam Benegal visited Bangladesh to discuss the film project with Sheikh Hasina and film associates.[30] The budget of the film was set at Template:Estimation Template:BDT at a meeting held in New Delhi on 7 May 2019.[37] But it was learned later from Nuzhat Yeasmin, one of executive producers of the film that the budget of this film is Template:BDT.[note 5] Bangladesh has given Template:BDT of the budget and India has given Template:BDT.[1] After the Bangladesh delegation visited India on 7 May 2019 and discussed with the Indians, the matter of making the film was finalized.[38] On 6 October 2019, the director talked with Sheikh Hasina in a meeting at New Delhi for the film.[39] Later another film related agreement was finalised in 14 January 2020.[40] Shyam Benegal further said that this is a Bengali nationalist film.[41] Sheikh Hasina wanted the language of the film to be in English or Hindustani or Urdu. But Shyam Benegal decided to make the film in Bengali, the state language of Bangladesh.[note 6][42] Benegal doesn’t know Bengali, for this reason he had to enlist the help of translators.[43] Two years later its official title was announced.[44] The director gave the name to the film as the meaning of Mujib is significant.[42]

Character

Character development of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was a difficult task for Benegal. As steadfast as Mujib was to his political ideals and movements, he gave importance to his family And he was more of a family man than all the important personalities of the Indian subcontinent. And so his life is presented in this film from an emotional point of view.[42] The director said that Mujib will be portrayed in a balanced manner in the film.[45]

Writing

Atul Tiwari planned to visit Bangladesh in May 2019 as part of his film research. Piplu Khan was his helper and research related assistant.[46] Atul Tiwari visited Bangladesh with Shama Zaidi on 19 May and investigated the biopic related historical places.[37] As part of the research for the film, Sheikh Hasina assisted the director with information about her father's life. Although the film script was reviewed by her, she did not demand any major change in the script.[25] In order to complete the screenplay, Shama Zaidi and Atul Tiwari adhered to research paper on the main character of the film written by Gowher Rizvi. As part of the research, the screenwriters collected information from people associated with Bangabandhu. A scriptwriters' committee was formed to write the script for the film. Anam Biswas, Gias Uddin Selim, Shihab Shaheen and Sadhana Ahmed were selected as members of this committee. Asaduzzaman Noor assisted the members as an advisor to the committee.[14] From February to August 2020, many minor corrections was made to the screenplay of the film.[47]

Influence

There was a lot of interest among Bangladeshis to know who will play the main character in the film. Some people proposed Amitabh Bachchan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Boman Irani, Adil Hussain, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Pijush Bandyopadhyay and Tariq Anam Khan as main character. Some netizens edited the pictures of many actors and made their mustaches and hair look exactly like Bangabandhu and posted them on social media.[84]

Controversies

Director

Though it was decided to make a film about Bangabandhu, the news of proposing the names of three Indian directors as the director of the film made many Bangladeshis unhappy.[43] Some famous film related figures of Bangladesh criticized it. Among the critics were Gias Uddin Selim, Farooque,[23] Mahmud Didar and Khijir Hayat Khan. Nasiruddin Yousuff thinks that it would have been better if the director of the film was Bangladeshi.[31] Abul Hayat and Toukir Ahmed were positive in this regard. However, Shyam Benegal pointed out that the biopic of Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the Indian nation, was made by a foreigner.[53] On the other hand, Kaushik Ganguly thinks it is a simple matter because Bangabandhu is like Kazi Nazrul Islam who is the wealth of both India and Bangladesh.[note 13][33] According to Syed Borhan Kabir, Benegal was a talented director in his early life but it is not possible for him to give any good films in this era.[85]

Casting

Although Jannatul Sumaiya Heme's name was on the list published by BFDC, the director did not include her name on his own list. She complained that her name should not have been excluded without informing. However, Mohammad Hossain Jaimy, the line producer of the film, claimed that he did not call her because Heme's name was not in the final list given to him.[56] Jyotika Jyoti complained on social media that although she was selected for acting twice, she was dropped due to corruption in the Bangladesh part of the production team. Jyotika Jyoti also said that when he contacted Shyam Benegal to find out why he was dropped, he informed her that since he was told that she was busy with other work, he dropped her.[55] After the release of the trailer of the film, Shuvoo received negative response. The trailer captured his weak performance which the people of Bangladesh could not accept. As a reaction of Shuvoo's excuse for the trailer, Sohana Saba trolled him on Facebook about his performance.[86] Columnist Deepak Chowdhury criticised the casting of Shuvoo and Tisha in the film.[87] Columnist Syed Borhan Kabir criticized casting process of the film. In particular, he criticised Arifin Shuvoo and considered him to be only suitable for acting in romantic films.[85]

First trailer

Template:External media After the upload of the film's first trailer, it got mixed reaction among the people.[88] The trailer was criticised for many issues. Hashibur Reza Kallol, a filmmaker, criticised the trailer.[citation needed] But Kingshuk Chaterjee, a history professor from the University of Calcutta, hinted that it is normal because even Gandhi and Jinnah could not escape criticism.[61] Contrary to criticism of the trailer, director Shyam Benegal said that it is inappropriate to react only by watching the trailer without watching the entire film.[89] Sohanur Rahman Sohan supported him.[90] A section of viewers complained that there were many historical mistakes in the trailer. Scriptwriter Sadhana Ahmed refuted the allegations and told The Daily Star that there was no danger of a historical mistake in the film.[14] Columnist Deepak Chowdhury thinks that if people watch this trailer, they may lose interest in watching the film.[87] Jawad Antu of Somoy TV thinks that since Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is the idol of Bangladesh Awami League, a group of people in Bangladesh have unreasonably criticized its trailer, thinking it is a propaganda film of the political party.[91] Bahauddin Khelon, one of the casting directors of the film, agreed that the trailer has some problem.[79]

When people in Bangladesh criticized the trailer of Mujib, Arifin Shuvoo said that the trailer isn’t official. However, the country's Information Minister Hasan Mahmud denied it on May 25 and confirmed about its officiality.[92] The director said in an interview on May 26 that the trailer was made before the film's production was completed and another trailer will be released later. He also wanted to make it clear that he is more interested in calling it a teaser than a movie trailer. He also indirectly acknowledged the flaws in the trailer.[93]
