== Production ==

=== Background ===
In 2015, the book "''Rabindranath Ekhane Kokhono Khete Asenni''" written by [[Bangladeshis|Bangladeshi]] writer Mohammad Nazim Uddin was published by Batighar Prakashani of [[Bangladesh]]. The [[India]]n version of the book was later published by Abhijan Publishers of [[India]]. Soon after its publication, the book received a wide response in [[Bangladesh]] and [[West Bengal]]. When the [[Kolkata]]-based TVwala Media expressed interest in producing the web series, they signed an agreement with the author in February 2019. Through this, the TVwala Media bought the audio-visual rights of the novel.<ref>{{Cite web|title=নাজিম উদ্দিনের উপন্যাস নিয়ে ভারতে ওয়েব সিরিজ {{!}} কালের কণ্ঠ|url=https://www.kalerkantho.com/print-edition/rangberang/2019/03/01/742361|access-date=2021-04-11|website=Kalerkantho|language=bn}}</ref>

But then, [[Srijit Mukherji]] informed the author of his interest in making a [[web series]] based on this novel. But because of the earlier agreement with TVwala Media, it was decided to make the series by Srijit Mukherji under the production of TVwala.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-09-22|title=নাজিম উদ্দিনের থ্রিলারে সৃজিতের ওয়েব সিরিজ|url=https://independent24.com/details/67054/%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AE%20%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0%20%E0%A6%A5%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%87%20%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%83%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0%20%E0%A6%93%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%AC%20%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%9%E0%A6%9A|access-date=2021-04-11|website=independent24.com}}{{Dead link|date=August 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> However, due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], it was not possible to make the series with the help of [[Bangladeshis|Bangladeshi]] artists. So, later it was decided to make the series with the help of [[India]]n artists in a joint production of [[Shree Venkatesh Films]] and TVwala Media.

=== Character selection ===
The series was initially supposed to be dominated by [[Bangladeshis|Bangladeshi]] actors. [[Jaya Ahsan|Jaya Ahsan's]] name comes up first as the central character "Mushkan Juberi". Mohammad Nazim Uddin, the author of the novel, made the offer to the director and the production company.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-04-29|title=সৃজিতের ওয়েব সিরিজে জয়া আহসান!|url=https://sarabangla.net/post/sb-255596/|access-date=2021-04-11|website=sarabangla.net|language=bn}}</ref> But a few days later, it was heard that [[Pori Moni]] would replace [[Jaya Ahsan]] in the lead role.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|title=সৃজিতের ওয়েব সিরিজে পরীমণি! থাকছেন চঞ্চল ও মোশাররফ করিমও|url=https://www.dhakatimes24.com/2020/07/06/174154/সৃজিতের-ওয়েব-সিরিজে-পরীমণি-থাকছেন-চঞ্চল-ও-মোশাররফ-করিমও|access-date=2021-04-11|website=Dhakatimes24.com|language=bn}}</ref> Also, the name of [[Chanchal Chowdhury]] as Atar Ali and the name of [[Mosharraf Karim]] as an unknown character came up for discussion. Despite rumors circulating at different times about the different characters, it was later confirmed by the director [[Srijit Mukherji]] that he had actually chosen [[Chanchal Chowdhury]] as Atar Ali. He also thought of [[Fazlur Rahman Babu]]. However, these plans could not be implemented due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-09-19|title=Covid-19 blocks Srijit's web-series adaptation of Nazim Uddin's thriller to cast Bangladeshi actors|url=http://www.tbsnews.net/glitz/covid-19-blocks-srijits-web-series-adaptation-nazim-uddins-thriller-cast-bangladeshi-actors|access-date=2021-04-11|website=The Business Standard|language=en}}</ref> Therefore, it was decided to make the series only with [[india]]n actors. That is, no one from [[Bangladesh]] was supposed to be in the series.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-09-19|title=No Bangladeshi actor in 'Rabindranath Ekhane Kokhono Khete Ashen Ni' web series|url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/showtime/2020/09/19/no-bangladeshi-actor-in-rabindranath-ekhane-kokhono-khete-ashen-ni-web-series|access-date=2021-04-11|website=Dhaka Tribune}}</ref>

[[Anirban Bhattacharya]]'s name came first as Ator Ali after the decision to team up with [[India]]n actors. [[Paoli Dam]] was the first choice of the director as Mushkan Zubairi. But later, when there was a problem with her schedule, [[Bangladeshis|Bangladeshi]] actress [[Azmeri Haque Badhon]] was surprisingly chosen.<ref>{{Cite news|last=|first=|title=Badhon in web series Rabindranath Ekhane Kokhono Khete Aashen Ni|url=http://thedailynewnation.com/news/273141/badhon-in-web-series-rabindranath-ekhane-kokhono-khete-aashen-ni|access-date=2021-04-11|website=The New Nation|language=en|archive-date=27 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210927045510/https://thedailynewnation.com/news/273141/badhon-in-web-series-rabindranath-ekhane-kokhono-khete-aashen-ni|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Rahul Bose]] as investigating officer Nirupam Chanda, Anirban Chakraborty as police officer Tapan Sikdar and [[Anjan Dutt]] as Kharaj Khasanbish have been selected finally.

The first look of the characters in this series was revealed on 26 December 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-12-26|title=First look of 'Rabindranath Ekhane Kawkhono Khete Aashenni' revealed|url=http://www.tbsnews.net/glitz/first-look-rabindranath-ekhane-kawkhono-khete-aashenni-revealed-176560|access-date=2021-04-11|website=The Business Standard|language=en}}</ref>

=== Visualization ===
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic shooting had to be done in India. The shooting of the series started from 16 December in [[Bardhaman|Burdwan]], Hooghly and [[Durgapur]] region of [[West Bengal]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=প্রতিটি নতুন দিন নিজের উন্নতি করার নতুন সুযোগ: বাঁধন|url=https://www.banglanews24.com/index.php/entertainment/news/bd/833278.details|access-date=2021-04-19|website=banglanews24.com|date=4 January 2021 |language=bn}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2020-12-25|title=আমি চেষ্টা করছি চরিত্রের সাথে শতভাগ সৎ থাকতে: বাঁধন|url=https://www.channelionline.com/চরিত্রের-সাথে-শতভাগ-সৎ-থা/|access-date=2021-04-19|newspaper=চ্যানেল আই অনলাইন|language=en-US |last1=আহমেদ |first1=মিতুল }}</ref>
