In one word, it's an entertainment package. It was a great experience to work with Saurav, Kharaj, Prantika, and Loknath. Their guidance was a blessing to me. All the profits will be used in the making of a hospital in the Nadia district."

Most scenes were shot in Ranaghat and a special song sequence filmed in the scenic locales of North Bengal. Pronoy Dasgupta's editing promises to bring out the best in each frame.

It's his first full-length film, and I loved the fact that our producer would be using the money made from the film to build a hospital. It was a wonderful experience. I liked my character a lot; the plot was intriguing. Kharaj Mukherjee is an outstanding actor, and he brilliantly portrayed the role of a father. Prantika is a bright young talent; it was great working with her."
