Veteran trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted that the entire shoot was completed in 43 days in Kolkata.

The film, a prequel to Sujoy Ghosh’s thriller Kahaani (2012), sees Bachchan portray the titular unassuming assassin, who was originally played by Saswata Chatterjee. The iconic character as well as his catchphrase 'Nomoshkar… ek minute' were embraced by the masses, and Chatterjee received acclaim for his portrayal.

Bachchan’s look in the upcoming film, especially his hairstyle, is similar to Chatterjee's in Kahaani. 

Bob Biswas, which also stars Chitrangda Singh, will mark the Hindi film debut of Bengali film and television actress Ditipriya Roy.
