The incident shattered the emotions of the family members of the victims for their lifetime and thundered the entire nation into a nightmare in reality," the foundation stated through the statement.  Addressing the film, it stated, "In recent times, Hansal Mehta - an Indian filmmaker announced the production of his new movie based on this black chapter of human history. The recently released teaser of the movie clearly reprised the horrific night and misinterpreted that incident provoking extremist activities of terrorism - which never coincides with religion and humanity." "The making of this movie has ultimately started affecting the emotions of the family members of the victims from the nation and abroad as well as negatively impacted the public sentiments of Bangladeshi masses. This incident which severely shocked the entire nation must not have ever been represented again," it stated. Read: Coming soon: A Bollywood film on Dhaka cafe massacre!
