{{main|Yeti Obhijaan}}
After ''Mishawr Rawhoshyo'', while the makers were planning about the sequel,<ref name="business-standard.com"/> Director [[Srijit Mukherji]] told about next [[Kakababu]] film to [[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]]: "We’ve planned three. Actually I wanted to make a trilogy — a desert, a mountain and a jungle. The desert is done. Most probably we’re looking at mountain after this, which could be Kakababu Bajra Lama, Paharchuray Aatonko or Bhayankar Sundor. One in Sikkim, one in the basecamp of the Everest, kind of a difficult shoot, and Kashmir, also a difficult shoot".<ref name="KAKABABU calling"/>

In December 2014, director Srijit Mukherji said: "Yes, it's Paharchuray Aatonko next. Since we'll be shooting in the mountains, summer is the best time. We'll start in May and wrap up by June, before it begins to rain. The shoot is going to be difficult, as the actors will have to be hand-in-glove with mountaineering. I've spoken to Bumbada ( Prosenjit Chatterjee) about the dates. DoP Soumik Halder's dates have also been locked".<ref name="timesofindia.indiatimes.com">{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/news/Prosenjit-heads-to-the-mountains-as-Kakababu/articleshow/45546548.cms|title=Prosenjit heads to the mountains as Kakababu - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref>
