When Arifin Shuvoo met with the great Indian director Shyam Benegal, he told Benegal that all he ever does is fight bad guys and try to win the heart of pretty women. In the Indo-Bangladesh film Mujib: The Making of a Nation, directed by Shyam Benegal, a 41-year-old Bangladeshi actor named Shuvoo assumed the role of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. "When my pictures were sent to Benegal sir, I was buffed up as I had been working on my action film Mission Extreme," Shuvoo said.
