Production

Sumon Mukhopadhyay had written the script for the film many years back, in 2008, when he conceived the idea of making a film adaptation of Putul Nacher Itikatha by Manik Bandopadhyay. Due to budget issues and the difficulties in adapting the novel into an appropriate screenplay, he couldn't start the filming.

The film was announced in January 2022. The filming was started on 13 February 2022. The filming was scheduled to be completed within a short schedule of 25 days. But the filming stopped due to certain circumstances after 50% of the shooting was completed. The remaining filming was completed in January 2023.

Ananya Chatterjee shared her experience regarding the filming, when she used to spend fourteen hours day with only one eye opened. Her character in the film had suffered from smallpox and had a lost an eye owing to its side effects. So, she had to use prosthetics to make her one eye look damaged, which led her to suffer from immense headache and teary eyes syndrome for multiple days.
