The movie 'Rickshaw Girl' is based on the novel 'Rickshaw Girl' by Mitali Perkins, an Indian-American writer. The screenplay was co-written by Naseef Faruque Amin and Sharbari Zohra Ahmed.

The film also stars Champa, Momena Chowdhury, Naresh Bhuiyan, Allen Shubhro, and others.

At the screening, producer Ziauddin Adil and director Amitabh Reza Chowdhury related the story behind the creation of the film 'Rickshaw Girl' to the attendees.
