Production

Tapan Sinha interviewed "some two hundred and fifty lads" before he selected Partha Mukherjee to play the role of Tarapada. Sinha made him rehearse extensively for nearly two months for the film. For the role of Charu, he chose Basabi, the daughter of the well-known comic actor Bhanu Bandopadhyay, and got the two youngsters to rehearse together. Basabi recalls: "Both of us were very young when we did 'Atithi'.
