Production
[edit]Mahesh Manjrekar had written the story approximately ten years before production began, based on an idea he got from his elder daughter, Ashwami Manjrekar.[7] Discussing the casting, he said that rather than choosing actors based on obvious casting choices, he considered their personalities when selecting the cast.[8] Manjrekar also revealed that his wife, actress Medha Manjrekar, was originally set to play the mother of Priyadarshini Indalkar's character, but opted out of the film after being diagnosed with cancer and undergoing treatment.[9]
The film's muhurat shot was held in Goa in the presence of Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and MLA Delilah Lobo, along with members of the cast and crew.[10] The film is produced under the banner of Vinsan Graphic Production, a production house based in Goa.[11]

Bandkhor is scheduled to be released theatrically on 24 September 2026 with an "A" certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).[16]
