Following the screening, when asked about PM Sheikh Hasina's impressions of the film, Arifin Shuvoo shared with The Daily Star, "PM Sheikh Hasina perceives that I have effectively encapsulated Bangabandhu's character. As for whether I have succeeded or not, I haven't deeply contemplated it. When someone closely connected to him, like a daughter, feels that her father's character has been splendidly portrayed, there's not much room left to speculate. Following the screening, she asked me, 'How did you portray it so beautifully?'"
Regarding his insights into the film, the actor's response was concise, "I've poured three years of hard work into this movie. It's there for people to watch, and there's no need for me to add anything further. We await the audience's verdict."
In "Mujib", Arifin Shuvoo leads the ensemble cast as the title character of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in this film, while, Nusrat Imrose Tisha plays Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib. Actress Nusraat Faria portrayed Bangabandhu's elder daughter and Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The biopic also features popular actors Chanchal Chowdhury, Prarthana Dighi, Tauquir Ahmed and others in different roles, and the entire trailer showcases some of the powerful and majestic moments from Bangabandhu's epic journey to the road of the country's independence.
