Talking about the film, Sujoy said, "I am making this film 'Kalpvriksh' with the basic theme of not selling or destroying the properties and assets received in legacy from the elders."

With the film, Sujoy takes forward his father's banner Joy Mukerji Productions and also incorporates classic glimpses of the golden era.

Talking about his father, he said, "He was the joy of Indian cinema. To see him act in films was like going to an acting school, he was a gurukul. My father late Shri Joy Mukherjee has left a beautiful legacy which I would like to reintroduce."

In addition, he will also be working in association with Dilip Shukla to direct 'Ganga' which revolves around Ganga, an orphan from Lathipur, a small village in Uttar Pradesh.
