Production

After the successful venture Pratibad (2001), Haranath Chakraborty initially approached Prosenjit Chatterjee to play Bijoy in Sathi making their 8th collaboration. After hearing the story, Chatterjee rejected the role as his age wouldn't match with the age of Bijoy. Then he suggested Chakraborty to find a new face for the role. Jisshu Sengupta auditioned for the role, but was rejected later.

The shooting took place in Kolkata, Burdwan, Bolpur and Ramoji Film City. The climax scene of the film was shot at Geetanjali Cinema Hall, a single screen situated in Bolpur, while some song sequences were filmed at Ramoji Film City.

In the talk show Ghosh & Company, hosted by filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, Jeet revealed that Haranath Chakraborty and Shrikant Mohta had not wanted him to dub for his role as he was a non-bengali. But Jeet, who was born and grew up in Kalighat and performed in several Bengali language dramas, concentrated on upscaling his Bengali pronunciation. After a long hard work, Jeet requested Chakraborty to allow him for the dubbing.
