To establish the film-making infrastructures, a meeting was held in 1953, arranged by Abdus Sadek, the then director of East Bengal Bureau of Statistics.
He went to Kolkata and discussed with Moni Bose, a notable Indian scriptwriter, to select the story for the film.
[9][6] Khan primarily planned to make the film from the literary works of Kazi Nazrul Islam or Jasimuddin.
But Bose selected Dakaat (Robbers), a play, and later a novel, written by Khan inspired by a true story of robbery published in newspapers.
[14] Moinul Islam worked on the sound design, and the poster was created by Subhash Dutta, who later became a notable director.
Mahbuba sang the other song in the film - Moner Boney Dola Laage Hashlo Dokhin Hawa.
[14] Kalim Uddin Dudu Miah (father of actor Alamgir) and Nuruzzaman from Iqbal Films were the producers of this venture.
[8] Even though the film production started in December 1953, it was 6 August 1954 when the inaugural ceremony (muhurat) took place at Hotel Shahbagh (now defunct) in Dhaka.
[2] Other three prints of the film were shown at Nirala in Chittagong, Diamond in Narayanganj and Ullasini Cinema Hall in Khulna.
