The film is produced with a reported budget of around ₹10 lakh, reflecting the financial realities of filmmaking in Tripura’s comparatively small Kokborok-language market.

The film’s creative team also includes Rabi Debbarma as assistant cameraman; Swkang Debbarma as sound designer and music director; Mrinal Debbarma and Shankar Jamatia as lyricists; and Bipasha Reang, Birbahar, Shankar, Pencil and Sarati Kalai as singers. Adwaita Chakma worked on subtitles, Aju and Sarah handled makeup, and Ashit Debbarma was responsible for dance choreography.
Following its Agartala screenings, Thokai Part 2 is scheduled to be screened in Khowai on October 12, 2026. The additional screening is expected to give more viewers an opportunity to experience the production.
The film draws attention to the work of Tripura’s Kokborok film community, where filmmakers often take on multiple production roles and work with limited budgets. The continued production and screening of regional-language films remain important for showcasing local stories, talent and culture.
