Referring to Chanchal as a workaholic, Vicky said, "He delves so deeply into his characters that every portrayal by him comes out to be brilliant. Not only that, he also looks over and assists his co-actors so the teamwork gets better. I have gotten so much assistance from him that I was regretting why I didn't work with him earlier."
Vicky shared that as philosophically rich as Chanchal Chowdhury is, the character that he played in the series deeply resonated with Chanchal himself.
The story and screenplay of "Rumi" have been written by director Vicky Zahed. It has been shot in distinct locations like Rupganj, Gazipur's Bhawal, Ghorashal, and the capital.
