For Mosharraf, the strength of "Chokkor 302" lies in its captivating storyline. "Audiences always respond to a great story, and this film has that. The plot will keep viewers hooked and leave them mesmerised. It's a movie for everyone," he said, brimming with confidence.

In the film, Mosharraf takes on the role of Moinul, a police officer shrouded in mystery. "Moinul is a complex character," he explained. "He's caught up in a web of intrigue, relationships, and suspense—all of which make the story gripping."

When asked how much he enjoyed playing the role, Mosharraf said, "I thoroughly enjoyed it. I immersed myself in Moinul's world, and that made the experience even more fulfilling."

Despite recovering from recent leg surgery, Mosharraf made it to the premiere in a wheelchair. When asked if he plans to visit the cinema on Eid day, he hinted, "I might just go. I'm feeling better now, so I might be able to make it."

As for his message to fans, Mosharraf urged, "Please watch 'Chokkor 302'. There are many films releasing this Eid, and mine is among them. Show your support by watching it and supporting our local cinema."

This year, Mosharraf will be celebrating Eid in Dhaka, though his childhood memories of the festival are split between Dhaka and his hometown of Barishal. When asked if he misses those earlier Eid celebrations, he admitted, "Of course I do. I miss the Eid days of my youth. But there's no point dwelling on it—we can't go back in time."

Reflecting on Eid now, Mosharraf said, "Eid is still a day of immense joy. But as we grow older, it's harder to feel the same excitement we did as children. Back then, Eid was pure happiness—new clothes, running around with friends, going to prayers. Those memories often come back, and they're always special."
