Pobet has popular actor Zahid Hasan in the eponymous role of a petty thief while Bannya Mirza plays Paribanu, Pobet's wife. The couple live in a village in North Bengal. The story revolves around the social and political situation during the Liberation War. Pobet joins a military training camp to participate actively in the war.

Asked for his reaction, Zahid said: "The shooting of Pobet was a very pleasant experience. I got the chance to work with director Mintu as well as Bannya Mirza. The play did well and I'm really happy about it. I had a very well etched character and that made things easy. It was stressful to play a complex character that goes through a major transformation. The Liberation War brings a change in him. I believe my personality suits such roles. I want to do more performance-oriented roles."

E&E production has produced the play, which is soon to be aired on BTV.
