Development

The screenplay of the film was selected for the 2013 Indian edition of the prestigious Sundance Lab, organised by Sundance Institute, where Pratim got to discuss and dissect his script with international writers and directors like Asif Kapadia, Bill Wheeler, Joshua Marston, Carlos Cuaron and Marti Noxon. The film was titled Ink at that time.[1]

The script was subsequently read by actor Irrfan Khan who wished to direct the film for private television channel. Pratim declined Irrfan because he wished to make the film himself.[2]

Casting

This is the fourth collaboration of Pratim and Ritwick after Shaheb Bibi Golaam, Maacher Jhol and Ahare Mon. The film also marks the fourth collaboration between the director and Paoli Dam. They have previously worked together in Maacher Jhol, Ahare Mon and the telefilm Mirchi Malini.

Filming

Shooting for the film started in Kolkata in 2018 when the premiere of the film Guptodhoner Sandhane was used by Pratim to shoot a sequence for his film.[3]

Marketing and release

The first look posters were released in June 2019.[4] The official trailer of the film was unveiled on 14 July 2019 by Auroville Movies.[5]

The film was released theatrically on 16 August 2019.[6]
