Based on the naval-sector operated guerrilla operations during the Liberation War, the film also stars Ananta Jalil, Emon, Nirab, Roshan, Shipon, Sajnu Jon, Joy Chowdhury, Amit Hasan, Pallob, Ishtiaque Ahmed Rumel, Nipun, Nader Chowdhury, Shahidul Alam Sachchu, Danny Sidak, Ilias Kanchan, Kazi Hayat, Omar Sani, and Misha Sawdagar among others.

‘I have no desire to become a politician’

It would not have been far-fetched to assume that a philanthropic figure like Ananta Jalil could potentially put forth his name in the game of politics, what with a plethora of far-reaching celebrities already putting their names in the hat. However, the “Kill Him” actor clarified his stance on this subject during a recent promotional event for his upcoming project “Operation Jackpot”.

The narrative revolves around the remarkable guerilla operation, titled ‘Operation Jackpot’, executed by the naval sector during the Liberation War of Bangladesh. Several prominent stars from the country are actively involved in the project.
