The film “Unplugged” is set to portray the shattered dreams and uncertain future of a remittance worker. Directed by Sheikh Al Mamun, the project is co-produced by Saiful Jarnal. This production is being developed in partnership with the Korean Film Council.

Jarnal mentioned that the screenplay for this film has received an accolade in the Independent Art Film Production category from the Korean Film Council, which is also providing the funding for the project.

He further added that filming for “Unplugged” is already underway, with 40 percent of the movie completed. The team aims to wrap up the entire production by October.
