Production

Before the onset of the COVID-19 lockdown in India, Manjule possessed the script for the film, originally titled solely as "Biryani". At that juncture, Manjule harbored reservations about the narrative's efficacy. However, encouraged by Awtade, the storyline underwent a significant overhaul, culminating in the finalized title, "Ghar Banduk Biryani".

Akash Thosar and Sayli Patil, who previously starred together in Jhund, take on the lead roles in the film. Nagraj Manjule and Sayaji Shinde also join in pivotal roles. Initially, Manjule intended to portray the Naxalite commander, a role eventually taken on by Sayaji Shinde. Supporting roles feature Tanaji Galgunde, Deepti Devi, Shwetambari Ghute, Vitthal Kale, and Arbaz Shaikh.

A major part of the film takes place in the forest, so the location was very important. The makers visited the forests of Khopoli, Bhor, Nagpur, Madhya Pradesh etc. Gaganbawada in Sahyadri mountain ranges of Kolhapur district was decided for filming. 80 percent of the film was shot at Gaganbawada.

Post-production was wrapped up in December 2022.
