The film was announced with a motion poster on 23 September 2025. It revealed Koel Mallick and Koushik Sen in lead roles as siblings, performing Bhai Phonta.

Director Annapurna Basu and scriptwriter Sadeep Bhattacharjee came to Surinder Films' office to narrate the script to Koel Mallick. Besides Sharthopor, they also narrated a few more scripts. Amongst all, Koel liked Sharthopor the most because she felt that its theme would be relatable to many people. Koel said in an interview that she immediately said "yes" to the film after one-time narration by the director-scriptwriter duo.

In an interview, Koel said that when the script was being narrated to her, she felt that one of the characters was very similar to her father in real life. They hadn't developed the character very well till then. She asked them to develop the character and then offer the role to her father, Ranjit Mallick.

The filming started on 19 July 2024. In an interview, Koel mentioned that in most of the scenes, her character has used the bare minimum of make up and kept a simple hair bun in order to make the character relatable to the audience. Ranjit Mallick joined the shoot in the last leg of the filming schedule.
