Production
editNoor Jahaan, an Indo-Bangladeshi joint venture, is co-produced by Raj Chakraborty Productions, SVF Entertainment and Jaaz Multimedia. By early July, Raj Chakraborty said that the film was nearly finished shooting its portion in Murshidabad, West Bengal and would start its Bangladesh portion soon.[1] However, due to controversies of joint ventures in 2017, the government of Bangladesh began a temporary halt on international co-productions.[5][6] Despite having 50% of the film's cast and crew being from Bangladesh, Raj Chakraborty claimed that at this point the future of the film was uncertain.[1]
Release
editThe film was originally scheduled to release on 1 September 2017, but the release was delayed due to the temporary ban on co-productions in Bangladesh.[1] It was later announced that the film would release on 16 February 2018, on the weekend of Valentine's Day.[4]
