Inspector Notty K , starring Jeet and Nusrat Fariha, started out as an Indo-Bangla joint production by Jeetz Filmworks and Jaaz Multimedia. Late in shooting, the rules for joint productions changed. Rather than delay the release until a required preview committee was formed, the producers released it as an Indian film, [1] which Jazz Multimedia then imported to Bangladesh. [1] It was released in India on 19 January 2018. Originally intended to release simultaneously in Bangladesh, it was delayed there by one week to 26 January. [2]
