The Prime Minister said, "I want you to take steps to produce world-class films using modern information technology."

She also mentioned that her government is constructing world class modern FDC complex. She said, "We want our film to be appreciated outside the country and abroad."

She called upon all the filmmakers, artists to pay attention to this issue. "As affluence has come into people's lives and they are also inclined towards entertainment, you can also create entertainment areas for them."

Sheikh Hasina said, "I will say to our brothers and sisters in the film industry who are here, who are making different films - if you look at different aspects of society, you have already proved that you can make good films."

Referring to the fact that her government passed the 'Bangladesh Film Certification Act-2023' in the last session of the National Assembly, she said, "We think that the law will introduce a system of certification in the film industry. We do not want pornographic films or piracy to continue in our country."

She said, "We want a system where we can use the talent that we all have to make good films."
