"Mujib: The Making of a Nation" is an upcoming biographical film co-produced by India and Bangladesh, set to be released in 2023. Directed by Shyam Benegal, the film features Arifin Shuvoo in the lead role, portraying Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the first president of Bangladesh and popularly known as Bangabandhu, the 'friend of Bengal.'
