While talking in this regard Dilara told this correspondent, “I want to go back to my old days. Sometimes, I think if BFDC is ornamented with rainbow’s seven colours and shooting is to be held in each floor, I will really feel delighted.

But those days will not return. I feel bad in this regard. When I go to BFDC my mind becomes gloomy for absence of golden days. However, in this stage of my life, I still want to make such a film which will become a milestone like late Amzad Hossain or late Khan Ataur Rahman directed films. But I don’t know is my dream comes into true. I still want to see the dream to act in historical character based films.”
