Felt good working with Tahsan after so long: Mithila

Mithila commented on reuniting with Tahsan, mentioning, "I primarily shared more scenes with Manoj Pramanik and fewer scenes with Tahsan during filming. Having said that, I indeed acted with Tahsan after a long while and I felt good working with him. I had an incredible time filming with all the cast members."

She stressed, "I focused solely on one project for Eid, always striving for quality work that resonates with the audience. This time was no different."

"The fact that 'Kajolrekha' is still being screened in halls is great news for Bangladeshi cinema. The film has received acclaim from many, with its story being the heart. In addition to the story, the director's vision and performances of the artistes have played crucial roles in its success," she conveyed regarding the Gias Uddin Selim directorial film.
