Production

It was fall 2008 when the story was proposed by Avik Banerjee to director Tapan Banerjee about a man who falls in a dilemma after getting invisible. The story however was in a short form which was later worked on to make a film on it. Due to high budget and "not so contemporary" storyline, many producers stepped back from the project. It was the start of 2009 when Rajkumar Tiwari decided to make a film on the story which impressed him as being a science fiction fan.

The film started on 27 April 2009 with almost a new starcast. The film while in shooting faced a real problem as everyone in the floor was not able to adjust with the special effects and stumbled on their natural acting. Eventually the cast became habituated with the shoot and became comfortable.

The film was completed at various location of Kolkata
