The Bangladeshi film "Neelchokro (Blue Circle)" has been selected for the Golden State Film Festival in Los Angeles, USA. The film has been chosen for the 'Foreign Language' category. According to Mithu, the film will be screened on the last day of the festival.

Regarding the thriller story of "Neelchokro," Mithu said, "The story is very familiar to us. Every family has a story like this. It's about the sudden accident of one family member and the impact it has on the whole family. It also includes a story about the traps of technology."

Mithu also mentioned that the producers and cast members will be present at the screening. Earlier, the world premiere of "Neelchokro" was held at the American Film Market in Las Vegas, USA.

The film stars Arifin Shuvoo and Mondera Chakroborty in leading roles. Mithu Khan co-wrote the screenplay and story with Nazim Ud Doula.
