Until now it has been confirmed for sure that Dilara Zaman and Toukir Ahmed are playing the roles of Sheikh Saira Khatun, the mother of Bangabandhu and Hossain Shahid Suhrawardy respectively.

When contacted Nabila to verify the news from reliable sources, she said, “I am not yet sure whether I will get a chance or not at all. I just auditioned for the role of Bangabandhu's wife Begum Mujib. It depends on the director of the film and his team.”
It is reported that Nabila will play the role of Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib as a teenager. Her character will appear with the name ‘Renu’ because Bangabandhu called Begum Mujib by this name out of affection.
