The "Minister of Love" project, a collection of twelve new Chorki original films directed by twelve distinct directors, has generated significant buzz in the film industry and amongst cinema lovers. Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, who creatively guided and co-produced the entire project, has also directed "Last Defenders of Monogamy" as part of this unique venture.

Expressing his excitement, Farooki shared on social media, "A pain in the past few years has been that I couldn't engage with my audience. Chorki's original films, 'Autobiography' and 'Monogamy', made for the 'Ministry of Love' project, will eliminate this pain soon– nothing is happier than that."
