Rumana Islam Mukti, candidate for general secretary in the Bangladesh Film Artists' Association election, broke down in tears after learning that Bapparraj decided not to contest for the president's position. Mukti, who has only cried publicly twice in her life, was deeply affected by Bapparraj's decision. The first time she cried was after her father's death, and the second time was when Bapparraj informed her of his withdrawal from the election.
Bapparraj, son of legendary actor Razzak, had initially announced his candidacy for the president's position, creating excitement among the artists. However, he later withdrew, citing personal and business reasons. Mukti expressed her distress, saying she was in a state of tension, wondering what to do next as the election approached.
Following Bapparraj's withdrawal, the panel began searching for a new presidential candidate. Fight director Arman's name emerged as a potential candidate. Mukti mentioned that although Arman was not initially considered, his consistent support and involvement with the panel made him a suitable choice. Ultimately, based on voter opinion and demand, Arman was finalized as the presidential candidate.
