Production
Meera Jasmine, who began reappearing in films by late-2012 after a brief break, plays the lead role in the film. Shajiyem had the actress in mind when he was developing the character, saying: "When she heard the story, she readily agreed to take the role and we eagerly awaited her available dates." Badri, who was one of the heroes in Mamas' Cinema Company (2012), plays the male lead.
The film is set in the city of Kochi, and was filmed in Kochi, Pollachi and Palakkad. Shooting ended in late May 2013.
