Hridi Haq who adapted the play for stage stated that it's based on a Southern folktale with the inclusion of Banesa Pori's titular role. The play focuses on the exile and survival of Gahor Badsha's along with the eventual love affair with Banesa Pori. The play marks Haq's first directorial venture for stage.
A group comprising around 50 theatre activists have participated in the play in various parts from acting to stage design to costume. Warda Rihab designed choreography for the play while Kamruzzaman Roni scored the background music. Actor Saju Khadem designed the sets.
The play premiered in November last year.
