The supporting cast includes Abu Hurayra Tanvir, Hanif Palowan, Joy Raz, and Mukul Siraz, among others. "Babar Chaya" is written by Kabbo Hasan and directed by Hasan Rezaul.
Speaking about the project, director Hasan Rezaul said, "In everyone's life, a mother holds a unique place. But a father's hard work is also incomparable. The word 'father' signifies a hand of trust, a sheltering tree, and a figure of respect. No matter how much pain they endure, fathers rarely express it. Throughout their lives, they continue to make sacrifices for their families. 'Babar Chaya' has been made as a tribute to all the fathers in the world. Through this drama, I've tried to portray the depth of those sacrifices."
He further added, "Ever since it was aired on television, many people have been calling to share how much they liked it. Even after its release on YouTube, viewers are leaving heartfelt comments. They're able to connect with the story on a personal level. Many scenes in this drama will remind the audience of their own fathers."
