Production

Judhajit Sarkar made a documentary film on woman boxers of Kolkata few years back. At that time he felt this subject would be interesting to make a full-length film. Sarkar explained, boxing is a game where the player accepts physical punishment voluntarily and it becomes more thrilling when a woman does it.

Casting

Naseeruddin Shah plays the role of the butcher. Sarkar worked with Shah in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s film ''Sazaaye Maut'' where Sarkar worked as an assistant. After collecting money for the film Sarkar contacted Shah and asked if he wanted to play the character. Shah agreed to act in the film immediately upon learning about the character he was offered. Anindita Bose plays the character of woman boxer. Bose and another actor Daminee took boxing training for a month to prepare themselves for their characters.
