Among those present were actor Prosenjit Chatterjee, producer Rana Sarkar, and actress Bidipta Chakraborty. Producer Shrikant Mohta joined the meeting virtually.

Directed by Mizanur Rahman Labu, the film is based on his own story, screenplay and dialogue. The central role of Atar Bibi is played by Farzana Sumi, who described it as one of the most demanding performances of her career.
