Mukherji wrote the character by backtracking Kumar's filmography and using his portions from the same. The story revolves around a Ph.D. researcher (Anindya Sengupta) asking Kumar's spirit to help him woo the love of his life. He takes Kumar's real-life grandson-actor Gourab Chatterjee's help. The cast also includes Roshni Bhattacharya, among others. The music is helmed by Saptak Sanai Das of X=Prem fame.
