Production

Raj Chakraborty mentioned in an interview that he prefers naming his upcoming movies, based on the title of the most popular song from his previous directorial. "Parbona Ami Chartey Tokey" was the title of the most popular track from his previous film Borbaad; from there, he decided the title of this film.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Raj Chakraborty said Bonny was less matured as an actor when he cast him in Borbaad. He wanted to project him as an action hero, but it didn't meet their expectations and ended up Bonny receiving a lot of negativity although the film broke even at the box office.

As per Raj's suggestions, Bonny took acting classes and dancing classes in the one year gap after Borbaad. He also visited the gym to get a more matured appearance in the film. Baba Yadav was hired as the choreographer for the dance sequences. Indradip Dasgupta was hired to compose only the title track for the film. But he surprised the director by creating all the songs of the film, which were eventually finalised owing to their catchy tunes.

For the female lead of the film, when Koushani was called for an audition, she had never acted before and was continuously speaking English. Raj gave her a script in Bengali and asked to come after a few days. When she turned up, she knew the script by heart and Raj liked her approach towards work. Later, Raj did a workshop with her for about a month and then decided to cast her. After grooming her and teaching

her how to face a camera, he did an photoshoot with her, which Raj didn't let her know was the look test for the film. During it, he asked her to click selfies and from those selfies, he made the first poster of the film.
