Mukherji, who directed the film, also makes a cameo in the video. He said he agreed because it includes a dhunuchi dance scene. "Pujo is incomplete without Dhunuchi dance," he said.
The video was shot at Badan Chand Roy Bari, the manor of Supratim Roy, who is also part of the film’s cast. Mukherji described the location as "an inseparable part of our film."
"We’re shooting at Supratim’s residence, who is an inseparable part of our film," Mukherji said. "In such a beautiful place, alongside the film’s perspective, Rik and Divyani’s on-screen romantic pairing can also be seen in a festive perspective through this music video."
Chatterjee and Mondal carry their on-screen pairing from the film into the video, which gives the two actors another chance to appear together as the release approaches.

The pair joked about the attention on them. "Srijit da has given us a responsibility to be the IT couple of 2026, so that our pairing becomes the center subject in every conversation," they said. "We’re trying our best to make it happen in every way possible."
The video is part of the film team’s festive build-up to the release, which brings the cast and director together at the Roy family home.
