Making
Production

Casting
This is the first collaboration of all the members of the cast of Buno Haansh with Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury.[7] Initially, Koel Mallick was supposed to play the female lead, but she stepped back due to date problems. After that, various names like Radhika Apte, Raima Sen and Payel Sarkar were being considered to bag the female lead.[8] Finally, Srabanti Chatterjee was signed to play the role.[3]
Veteran Bengali actress Moon Moon Sen reappeared on big screen with this film after nine years, her last film being Bow Barracks Forever, which was released in 2004. She was reported to play a central character in this film. In an interview, she said, "Yes, Tony (Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury) has approached me with a role in his next film. In the past too, Tony had approached me, but somehow I couldn't work out the time. But this time I'm really looking forward to it, though I'm yet to hear the script and sign on the dotted line. At present, both of us are talking about the film." Even director Chowdhury said that signing Moon Moon was like a dream come true for him and that, there was no other actress who would fit the character perfectly.[2]
Filming
Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury was reported to search for shooting locations at Mumbai.[1] Some scenes were also shot in Bangladesh and Thailand. In Bangladesh, the art direction was provided by Tarek Bablu.
