Faraaz is based on the actual events in July 2016, when armed robbers broke into the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka and murdered 20 patrons as well as two employees. Two police officers and five of the gunmen involved in the ensuing gunfire were among the remaining casualties. This movie is not the first to examine the assault. The same events were the subject of Saturday Afternoon, a 2019 film by Bangladeshi director Mostofa Sarwar Farooki.

The movie also introduces Sachin Lalwani, Jatin Sareen, Ninad Bhatt, Harshal Pawar, Palak Lalwani, and Ressham Sahaani.

Ahead of the film’s world premiere in London, Hansal said, “Through that attack, it’s a look at our world and also a deep dive into what religion means to different people. It is a deep dive into the minds of young people. When I read the story of the people who attacked the bakery, and the people were trapped, I found it incredible – it’s a story of youth and a story of our times.”
