Plot

Cast

[edit]

Shakib (Khan) was brought to my attention by choreographer Aziz Reza, who first showed me his still photographs and strongly recommended him. At his insistence, I asked to meet the boy in person, and Aziz brought him to our office. We liked him as soon as we saw him. Shakib had the potential to become a leading man, and it was because I saw that potential in him that I cast him in the film. He may have been recommended, and I may have given him the opportunity, but the fact is that he was deserving.

"When I started my film career, I was immature, but visionary. I didn't know where I was going or what I was going to do. I didn't know where I was going or what I was going to do. All I knew was that I had to work hard. Never give up. Today, when I look back, I'm grateful for all the people and experiences."
