This is Dev's second historical drama. The 'Kishmish' actor earlier portrayed Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikari in Dhrubo Banerjee's 'Golondaaj' (2021), a highly regarded biography of the founder of Indian football. Bagha Jatin's director, Arun Roy, is renowned for his work on historical dramas such as Egaro (2011), Hiralal (2018), and 8/12 (2022). 

The shooting, which was scheduled to begin in December of last year, was delayed, according to earlier media sources. For the past 1.5 years, writer and filmmaker Arun Roy has been writing about Bagha Jatin. The use of VFX will be prominent in the movie. Via VFX, the fight between Jatindranath and the tiger in the then-undivided Bangladesh would be portrayed. There shouldn't be any gaps in these schedules, according to producer Dev. Hence, the extra time was needed to perfect everything, from the set to the production.
