Test shoots for the film took place in late December 2023.

Ghosal's initial choice was Kushal Chakraborty as Mukul Dhar, who also played the same role in the 1974 film, while he was later replaced by Suprobhat Das in that role. Saheb Chatterjee and Jammy Banerjee were also confirmed to be parts of the film.
