The film, made with a production budget of ৳15 crore, has become one of the most expensive Bangladeshi films ever made. Channel i reports that 80% of the filming will take place outside the country. The film will be of the action-violence genre; while Bengali audiences have watched numerous action films, they have not experienced this type of action before. Indian renowned action director Ravi Varma has reportedly worked on the film as the stunt director for action sequences. Known for his work in numerous Bollywood and Telugu films, he will be joined by Aejaz Master from Mumbai, along with several other top-tier stunt directors. Bollywood choreographer Adil Sheikh is reportedly onboard for the dance sequences. Indian cinematographer Shailesh Awasthi is serving as the director of photography for the film. In early October, Channel i reported that makeup artist Amit Amberkar, who had previously worked on Ranbir Kapoor's Animal (2023), is handling the makeup for the film. On September 30, 2024, the look set and photoshoot for the film took place, where Amberkar finalized Khan's look in the film. Amberkar told Channel i about Khan's look, "The hero's look for the film has now been finalized. The director may soon offer the audience a glimpse of it." Channel i confirmed that the look would be revealed before October 10, 2024.

Casting

Mehedi Hasan Hridoy, who wrote the story and screenplay, also directed the film, marking his debut as a director in a full-length feature film, though he has previously directed over a hundred dramas. Shakib Khan signed onto the film in October 2023 after being satisfied with the screenplay he heard from the director. Commenting on the screenplay, he said, "I really liked the script. I always look for smart and unique stories where I can portray myself differently. It helps me take on new challenges." Following the success of Priyotoma (2023), which became the highest grossing Bangladeshi film ever-made, with Shakib Khan, Idhika Paul was later collaborated with Sariful Razz on a film titled Kobi, which was initially supposed to feature Shakib Khan. Rumors later surfaced that Idhika would appear appear as lead actress in another film alongside Shakib Khan. Later, in the first week of June 2024, NTV and Samakal confirmed Idhika's involvement in the project. There were rumors that the film's casting would include several surprises for the audience, with the biggest being the addition of renowned Indian actor Jisshu Sengupta. He was previously expected to appear in Shakib Khan's film Toofan (2024), but scheduling conflicts prevented that from happening. However, several individuals associated with the film have now confirmed that Sengupta and Khan will be working together in Borbaad. As of late October, the production house has not yet made an official announcement. Bangladeshi prominent television actor Mamunur Rashid has joined the cast of the film, where he plays a negative character. About his role, he stated, "This has allowed me to experiment with a different style of acting. I believe the audience will see me in a new and different role." Indian actress Nusrat Jahan will make a cameo appearance in an item song for the film. The song has already been filmed in Mumbai, as she personally confirmed during an interview with an Indian YouTube channel. This marks her second collaboration with Shakib Khan; earlier, in 2018, she teamed up with him in the joint production film Naqaab (2018).

In mid-August, director Mehedi Hasan Hridoy informed Samakal that they planned to start shooting Barbaad by the end of September. "Given the current situation in the country, it's difficult to say anything for sure," he stated. "Additionally, Shakib Khan is currently in the United States, and we need to discuss with him before making any decisions about starting the shoot. Until then, nothing can be confirmed." Following a delay of almost a month, the principal photography of the film Barbaad commenced on October 20, 2024, at Ellora Studios in Mumbai, India.
