"It's difficult to say no to a renowned director", said Mim.
The actor said she had to politely decline the offer as she felt the story has been formulated without knowing appropriate political history and other background information about Bangladesh.
"It was my first offer from Bollywood, but it's unfortunate that I couldn't accept the offer" she said, adding that, she hopes to receive a better offer in the future.
Currently, Mim is shooting for a film "Antorjal" and in talks with director Rayhan Rafi to sign up for a web film.
