Prequel
Main article: Matir Moina

A prequel titled Matir Moina was released in 2002. The film is set against the backdrop of unrest in East Pakistan in the late 1960s leading up to the Bangladesh War of Liberation. Kagojer Phool, would follow younger Kazi, the main character of Matir Moina (based on Masud's father) and zoom in on his years in Calcutta (now Kolkata) from 1945 to ’47. The film would show how Kazi's character was shaped by the riots in Calcutta and partition of Bengal.[6]
