Ritwick Chakraborty plays the role of a circus manager in the film, while actor Amit Saha portrays the titular character, Nadhar. The film was shot in the director’s native village in Tehatta, located in West Bengal’s Nadia district.“Though I began pre-production a year ago, the film was shot over just 13 days.

This selection is a recognition of the entire team’s hard work in realising the concept."(via inputs from PTI)
