Mosharraf Karim made an unexpected entrance at the premiere of "Chokkor 302", arriving in a wheelchair with a bandaged leg—leaving guests visibly surprised. The premiere, held Saturday (March 29) night at Centre Point Star Cineplex in the capital, marked the launch of Sharaf Ahmed Jibon's Eid release.

At first, many assumed it was a promotional stunt for the film. However, both Mosharraf Karim and director Sharaf Ahmed Jibon clarified that it was not part of any campaign. The actor had recently undergone surgery due to a boil on his leg.

Director Sharaf Ahmed Jibon told Samakal, "Mosharraf bhai underwent a leg surgery. Even then, we never imagined he would attend the premiere. He came purely out of dedication. That's what makes him the best. That's what makes him Mosharraf Karim. As a director, I can say it's truly rare to find such a dedicated actor in this country."

The premiere was attended by a number of artistes, including Afsana Mimi, Bijori Barkatullah, Mehazabien Chowdhury, Rukaiya Jahan Chamak, Aisha Khan, and cast members of "Chokkor 302" such as Intekhab Dinar, Suman Anwar, Raonak Hasan, Moushumi Nag, and Shashwata Dutta, among others.

Following the screening, Mosharraf Karim spoke to the press. 

"Only those who watched the film tonight can say how it turned out. But I can say this—everyone delivered great performances. Jibon extracted the best from each actor," he said. 

"Several new artistes also worked on this project, and they didn't fall short in any way. I have high hopes for them. I believe the audience will enjoy the film."

After watching the film, actress Mehazabien Chowdhury said, "It's because of the audience's growing interest that thriller films are now being made in Bangladesh. We're seeing this genre move beyond OTT platforms to the big screen as well. 'Chokkor' was a great example of that." 

"Mosharraf bhai and the entire cast delivered strong performances. The film also carries a meaningful message, and there's a surprise at the end from the director. Altogether, it turned out to be a wonderful film. My thanks to the 'Chokkor' team for such a gift," the actress concluded. 

The teaser of "Chokkor 302" was released on March 26. According to the 1 minute 16 second teaser, the story revolves around a murder mystery, delving into the darker corners of life.

Director Sharaf Ahmed Jibon said, "It's our story—a story of this country. At its core, it's about human relationships. If viewers can connect with the story and its characters, they will enjoy the film. I don't see any challenge in that."

Jibon received a government grant for "Chokkor" in the 2021–22 FY. Initially titled "Bicharaloy", the film was later renamed "Chokkor 302" as per the ministry's directive.
