Production

The film was announced on 2 February 2025, on the occasion of Saraswati Puja by Shree Venkatesh Films. Marking the sequel after 13 years of Hemlock Society, the announcement poster revealed the lead cast of Parambrata Chatterjee and Koushani Mukherjee, along with the name of the music directors - Anupam Roy, Ranajoy Bhattacharjee and Tamalika Golder.

Mukherji has drawn inspiration from a shocking real-life incident involving Hollywood star Angelina Jolie. The core concept of the film will be centered around Jolie's interview in which she mentioned that instead of attempting a suicide, she hired a gunman to kill her. It would have saved her family from any kind of guilt. But the shooter gave her time to rethink her decision and eventually, she changed her opinion and decided to not die.

The first look of the principal characters were revealed on 13 March 2025. A character intro of Mrityunjoy Kar, the protagonist, was released on 15 March 2025. The first character poster was dropped on 21 March 2025. Srijit Mukherjee revealed that he fixed the title of the film based on the idea that there are people who "kill" and then raise a "bill". A reference to paid killing, hence the title was kept "Killbill Society".

The director Srijit Mukherji initially wanted to re-cast the lead pair of Parambrata Chatterjee and Koel Mallick from Hemlock Society. Since Koel had become mother for the second time recently, Srijit Mukherjee had to find a new face to cast opposite Parambrata. First the role was offered to Mimi Chakraborty. Reports suggest that she agreed for the role but came off the board as she had issue with a kissing scene in the movie.

On 27 March 2025, the makers revealed that the film will have a number of cameo appearances including Ankush Hazra, Ananya Chatterjee, Shruti Das, Angana Roy, Somak Ghosh and Roshni Bhattacharya, thus carrying forward the style of its predecessor Hemlock Society. Ankush Hazra will make his cameo in a song sequence in the film.
