After the partition in 1947, the film institute of the provincial government was established at B. G. Press, Tejgaon under the authority of the Public Relations Department and with the responsibility to make government commercials. We did not have any studio laboratory here at that time to help the making of full-length films. Our demand for the establishment of a complete film studio in this region grew gradually stronger after the language movement in 1952. On the other hand, non-native (of West Pakistani origin) film producers were not in a state to welcome the rise of a film industry in this part of the country. But despite all odds, before the establishment of the provincial government's studio, Najeer Ahmad directed a news film and a documentary named ‘In Our Midst’(1947) and ‘Salamot’ (1947) respectively as if to show the prospect of a motion picture industry in this region.

The election of 1954 cut off the rule of the Muslim League government and the ‘Juktofront’ government, which was in favor of the native people, took over the administrative power of East Pakistan. Abdul Jobbar Khan, Dr. Abdus Sadek, Nuruzzaman etc. consulted with the respective authority about the establishment of a permanent film studio in this region. In a quick succession, being so advised, Abdul Jobbar Khan and Abul Kalam Shamsuddin, then provincial Assistant Director (Public Relations) jointly submitted a proposal to the government.

Towards the end of 1955, an Italian film mission visited Dhaka and sincerely advised the local government about the establishment of a studio. As a consequence in 1956, the government declared a five-year plan for the promotion of film industry in the province.

In 1957, the central government of Pakistan made an arrangement to allocate ten million rupees for the establishment of an organization to promote the film industry of West Pakistan. In these circumstances, Najeer Ahmad, head of the provincial (East Pakistan) film department, urged for a similar fund for the East Pakistan film industry. In the response, the officials of the central government advised to found an organization for the development of the East Pakistan film industry, exactly as it was in the plan of the provincial government. Najeer Ahmad then forwarded the matter to the respective authority through Ali Asgar Shah and Abul Khaer, respectively the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary for the Ministry of Trade. It was only two days to go before the end of the ongoing session of the provincial parliament. So, being advised to prepare a draft of the bill for the foundation of an organization for the regional film industry, Abul Khaer and Najeer Ahmad quickly prepared the necessary papers for the historical FDC Bill.
