About acting in the film, Afsana Mimi said, “I always prefer script in the way of acting in any film but I’m acting in the movie ‘Sheikh Russel-er Jonno Opekkha’ only for my character. It is a children film. The movie has also got government grant. As an artiste it is my responsibility to act in govt-granted film. I take the character of Bangamata in the film as a challenge.”

The shooting of our part in the film took place at the house ‘Dhanmondi 32’, that house is related to the history of Bangladesh.
