Development

The filming of Ami Shudhu Cheyechi Tomay began on 26 September 2013. According to the director, apart from being a typical romantic comedy-drama film, Ami Shudhu Cheyechi Tomay also has a social message for its viewers. Initially, the leading role was offered to Tollywood star Dev, but due to scheduling problems he rejected the offer. Ashok Pati's next choice was Ankush Hazra, who accepted the role. And for the role of 'Joy' co-director Anonno Mamun approached Bangladeshi actor Symon Sadik. But, after getting the story line Symon rejected the project. A major portion of the film was shot in Pubail (Gazipur), Bangladesh, with the remaining portions filmed in India and Thailand. The title song was shot in Kutch, Gujarat. Actor Misha Sawdagor and newcomer Meghla have played important roles in the film.
