Govt cautions media about 'misinformation' regarding movie on Bangabandhu
The government today cautioned mainstream media about "misinformation" regarding a proposed movie on Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, alleging a section of newspapers were publishing unsubstantiated and misleading reports quoting unauthorized sources.
"The government always supports media interests regarding the movie on Bangabandhu but unfortunately unfounded information is being disseminated regarding the making of the film," a government handout said.
It said the joint producers of the movie Bangladesh's BFDC and India's NFDC would immediately make public the information about actors of the movie and others concerned as soon as director of the film and noted filmmaker Shyam Benegal would finalise their names.
The handout urged the media to contact BFDC's acting managing director for any querry.
