The project was announced a year ago with Prithviraj as the hero. Kunchacko Boban was also roped in the film. But Prithviraj and Chackochan withdrew from the film after a long schedule of other films during the COVID restrictions. Roshan Mathews and Shine Tom Chacko have joined Tovino. Rima Kallingal will also be in the film. Gireesh Gangadharan is the cinematographer of the film.

The film is set in the 1960s and is based on Basheer’s story. While the story is extravagant, it will also have the director’s version. This will be the fourth film in which Tovino and Aashiq have teamed up. Mayanadi, Virus and Naradhan were the first three films of the duo.
