While speaking about his character in the upcoming thriller, Abirban had earlier revealed how he slipped into the character effortlessly.

“In Khoka, you won’t see any grey zone. He is a completely dark, bloody character, a hardcore villain. I have done six films with Srijitda thill now… and believe me I have given everything to slip into Khoka’s character. I even had to gain some weight to play this character. See, I have seen many dark characters in my life and the language you hear from Khoka comes from them. When I had moved to Kolkata for the first time, I used to stay in a place in Koley Market. In those days, it was pretty much rough,” said Anirban.
