The collaboration between Gautham and Mammootty had been long speculated, with rumours suggesting Nayanthara might play the female lead in the film. However, details about the cast and crew are yet to be revealed.
Gautham, known for his work in Tamil cinema, has also made his mark in Malayalam films with his acting chops. Menon made his presence felt in films like Trance, Lovefully Yours Veda, Anuragam, and Sesham Mike-il Fathima.
Coming Darbuka Shiva's compositions will set the film's mood, with Tapas Nayak, renowned for his work in Bheeshma Parvam, handling the sound design. Aesthetic Kunjamma will oversee the film's design.
