The film will be released during Eid next year. Shyam Sundar Dey will produce the film. The director told TV9 Bangla, "I am elated to start the film. Jeet da is a superstar. We have been holding meetings for a long time. This will be an attractive project that Jeet da has never done before. I also like to take on challenges. Perhaps that is why films like Surongo or Toofan were blockbusters. I want to add a new dimension to Bengali cinema."  

However, it is not yet finalized who will play the female lead. Jeet was last seen in Boomerang where he played a double role. Rukmini Maitra played opposite him. The film did well at the box office.
