It is a gripping story about the choices one is forced to make and the consequences, and I’m sure it will be lover by viewers in Bangladesh and across the world.”
Nazia Haque Orsha said, “I loved the story of ‘The Broker’ and am very happy to have been a part of it. This is my first project with ZEE5 and I’m very excited that Bangladeshi audiences not only here but in other countries also will get to watch this beautiful story.”
