Production

The film 'Ora Egaro Jon' was directed by Chashi Nazrul Islam and produced by freedom fighter and then Chhatra League leader Md. Masood Parvez, popularly known as Sohel Rana. He was a student of Dhaka University during Bangladesh Liberation War. After the war, Masud Parvez planned to make a film on the liberation war after returning to the university. The plan to make the film was taken on 19 December 1971.

All those who acted in this film as freedom fighters were members of Mukti Bahini including Khusru with 10 other freedom fighters who had returned from the war, a few days before the shooting of the film.

This was Chashi Nazrul Islam's first film as a director. Before that he was working as an assistant director. Mustafizul Hoque, one of the famous director at that time wanted to make the film at that time without remuneration. But after hearing that Chashi Nazrul Islam was also joining the project, Mustafiz said, “He has been working for a long time. He can do it".

The weapons and ammunition used in the liberation war were also used in the shooting of the movie. Sohel Rana went to Air Vice Marshal AK Khandkar along with his close friend Noore Alam Siddiqui. After hearing that arms and ammunition would be needed to make the movie, he told the then Major Shaukat. A major was attached to the shooting team to look after the Pakistan Army and Bangladesh Army uniforms.

The use of real weapons also entails considerable risk in film shooting. Even cameraman Abdus Samad refused to capture some of the scene.
