"Even if it is a little amount, but this tele-fiction will make the audience think about our social degradation. If not, how will the people become aware?" shared the Ekushey Padak awardee.

Mamunur Rashid will also be playing a role in the tele-fiction. "I play the role of a Zamindar in the drama," he continued, adding, "Fazlur Rahman Babu also played a role in the tele-fiction. His character is one that touched my heart—I was also a bit emotional when I wrote the script."

Currently, Mamunur Rashid is quite busy acting in other tele-fictions and staging theatre plays, alongside his troupe Aranyak Natyadal. The group recently celebrated its 50th anniversary and is currently busy staging the play "Kohe Facebook".
