On Sunday (January 12), the makers of "Rickshaw Girl" unveiled a new trailer alongside the official announcement of its release date. The much-anticipated film, directed by Amitabh Reza, is set to hit theatres across the country on January 24.

Based on the novel by American author Mitali Perkins, the film was originally scheduled for a 2020 release but was postponed due to the pandemic.

The story follows Naima, a young woman with a passion for painting. When her father, the sole breadwinner of their impoverished family, suddenly falls ill, she is forced to take charge. With no way to earn money through her art, Naima takes to the streets with a rickshaw. As challenges mount, the question remains—how will Naima fulfill her dreams?

Novera Rahman plays the titular role in "Rickshaw Girl", alongside Champa, Momena Chowdhury, Naresh Bhuiyan, and Allen Shuvro. Momena Chowdhury and Naresh Bhuiyan portray the roles of Naima's mother and father, respectively.
