Production
The film was written by Sethu and directed by B. Unnikrishnan; it is the first film directed by him that he did not write the script for. Explaining the reasons for his decision, he says: "That is because I enjoyed the story that Sethu narrated to me. Moreover, I was looking for an opportunity to work with young actors and this script seemed just right for such an outing. Writing and directing can be tedious and time-consuming and I wanted to take a break from the responsibility of doing both."[2] The film was shot in Vietnam, Bangkok, and Kochi.[2]
