Docudrama on Khaled Musharraf


An initiative has been taken to produce a docudrama on the life and works of Maj. Gen. Khaled Musharraf Bir Uttam, a liberation war hero.

The organisers of the project announced this at a press conference in London on Tuesday.

Khaled Musharraf's family members organised the press conference at a Bengali restaurant at Brick Lane, attended by the UK Bengali media and community activists.

The docudrama, directed by renowned theatre personality Nasiruddin Yousuff Bachchu, will focus on pre- and post-'71 era and give the viewers an insight into the life of the war hero, said the organisers.

It will also shed light on the War of Liberation and feature rare footages. The research and documentation of the film has already started, they said.

During the liberation war, Nasiruddin Yousuff fought along with Khaled Musharraf in Sector-2 and was a member of the famous K-Force. He knew Khaled Musharraf both personally and professionally.

Khaled Musharraf's younger brother Rashed Musharraf and sister Rina Musharraf were present at the press conference.
