Filming and teaser The success of the 2024 film Bohurupi prompted Mukherjee to handle the responsibility of making a sequel to it. Shiboprosad Mukherjee did not reveal much information regarding the movie. He spoke that there were certain things from Bohurupi loved by the greater audience, such as the celebrations of different people, villages and culture, which would be present in Bohurupi: The Golden Daku. According to him, the film stood as the biggest production of his company Windows, with hardly any filming in Kolkata.
Shiboprosad Mukherjee while sharing details about the movie, said that the scale of the production was truly remarkable. The film was shot in 96 different locations with over 2,500 artists, principal and supporting working on it. The filming was done at multiple places including Hasnabad, Taki, Barasat, Bardhaman, Bolpur, Bishnupur, Malda, and several other locations. A new addition to the film was the addition of Gambhira folk artists from Malda known for their songs and performances. The shooting of the film was delayed because of legislative elections that fell during the filming dates. Mukherjee remarked that it was challenging to shoot the film in the scorching month of May. He gave his role as Bikram Pramanik and put it out as the 25th anniversary of Windows.
Mukherjee made a few remarks about his reunion with Jisshu Sengupta, notably after working together in the films Posto (2017) and Baba Baby O (2022). Sohini Sarkar also joined the film during this time. After appearing together in a few advertisements, Bohurupi: The Golden Daku marks a collaboration of Mukherjee and Sengupta after a 4-year interval. His social media post described the movie's shooting to start from April 15, on the day of Poila Boishakh and be released at the start of Durga Puja. Sohini Sarkar described her working in the film, stating that although she had worked with Windows in advertisements before, she had not done a film with them. Her role in the film marked Sarkar's first time working with Jisshu Sengupta in a film, having collaborated in advertisements before. Though she and the others had talks earlier about a film, Sarkar's first film with both was Bohurupi 2.
Bohurupi: The Golden Daku began its filming on April 15, 2026, on the day of Poila Boishakh. Starring actors like Jisshu Sengupta, Koushani Mukherjee and Pradeep Bhattacharya. The film shot, claimed by The Times of India, began with Sengupta leading the scene, marking a beginning to the film. Nandita Roy expressed happiness to start the shooting on the auspicious day of Poila Boishakh, giving a positive tone to the filming. The story was written by Shiboprosad and Nandita, showing multiple robbery scenes and "a quest for hidden gold". The soundtrack featured artists such as Anupam Roy, Arnab Dutta and Noni Chora Das Baul and Bonnie Chakraborty, featuring a diverse palette of music. The production houses earlier informed of filming in April or March. As a second installment in the Bohurupi franchise, Shiboprosad and Kaushani Mukherjee returned to the sequel, previously gaining fame from the first film. Nandita Roy had planned to bring back the characters Bikram and Jhimli, who were recreated for Bohurupi: The Golden Daku by pulling their basis from Bohurupi. The filming of the movie spanned all over West Bengal and beyond.
Titiksha Das joined the film cast in May 2026, commenting, "Working on the big screen is always a different experience. It is truly a matter of luck that I am working on the big screen with the help of Nanditadi and Shivprasadda, and Windows Production. From the day Shibuda told me that I was part of this project, he did not treat me like a director or producer. He treated me in a way that made my work easier. He did not let me know that this is my first big screen work. I hope there will be many more works with Windows." On May 10, the shooting of the film was underway in Malda, with various scenes of the film shooting seen by the people. Several actors were present in the shooting, including Mukherjee, Abhijit Guha and Pradeep Bhattacharya. Many people present at the time of the filming in Malda captured the scenes and posted on social media, spreading the film's popularity in the media.
The looks and names of characters in the film began to be revealed gradually. On July 23, 2026, Windows Production announced the role and look of Sohini Sarkar. "She was seen in front of the camera wearing a red rose on her hair, light jewelry and with a calm face and curly hair". Her character was named as Reshmi Banerjee, supposed to play the role of Jisshu's wife.
The filmmakers unveiled a poster for the film on August 4, 2026, showing a visual glimpse at the character played by Shiboprosad Mukherjee. It showed Bikram Pramanik, played by Mukherjee in a rugged outfit and appearance. Posting the official poster on Facebook, he captioned it as "Once again, I step into the shoes of Bikram Pramanik. This time, I reprise the character in the second instalment of Bohurupi—Bohurupi: The Golden Daku".
On August 16, 2026, a teaser for the upcoming film was released on YouTube. The teaser showed Jisshu Sengupta's (a police officer) conflict with Mukherjee (Bikram Pramanik). Sengupta was portrayed as a tough, stern and unyielding police officer; shown chasing criminals on a bike in muddy terrain. In the previous film, Abir Chatterjee played the role of the police officer, who was replaced by Sengupta for the role. Mukherjee appeared in a small time frame portraying a sharp and authoritative Pramanik, who openly challenged and taunted the officer through his mockery, body language and attitude. Koushani Mukherjee appeared in the teaser as Jhimli Pramanik, the pickpocket wife of Bikram Pramanik. Sohini Sarkar also made an appearance.The plot was described by The Telegraph as a continuation of Bohurupi, centered in a rural landscape and focusing on multiple robberies and search for gold, while keeping the tradition of the original film by including folk elements. It was set for release on October 15.
The released teaser gained 1 million views in one hour, setting new records in Tollywood. Mukherjee wrote on media: "We are grateful for the overwhelming response to the teaser! Crossing one million views is incredibly exciting, but the audiences are in for an adrenaline rush with the world we have created in Bohurupi: The Golden Daku. Jisshu and I share an antagonising rivalry as two men on opposite sides of the law. [...] Bringing these two characters together has been an absolutely electrifying experience. We believe that the audiences are going to have a great time watching this edge-of-the-seat thriller unfold on the big screen this Puja."
The lines from the beginning of the teaser "We have no place for criminals to stay in this jail. The Education Minister is in cell number one, the Irrigation Minister is in cell number two, the Ration Minister is in cell number three - can you tell me? I have robbed 27 banks. I have no respect?" pulled popularity from audience. Film director Kaushik Ganguly predicted a huge box office collection for it.
Credits Makeup for the actors were considered essential in the previous film. In Bohurupi: The Golden Daku, the credits and makeup were given the same importance. Papiya Chanda was given the role of the makeup artist, who also did the makeup in the previous film. Cinematography was done by Animesh Ghorui and editing by Malay Laha.
