As per the director, the film " uses both reality and fantasy elements to say the story, like in movies such as Amen". The plot also explores the case of someone missing from the place.[1] Actress Roma Asrani, more selective in doing films[8] was signed as the lead actress in a performance oriented role with actors Shine Tom Chacko and Akshay Radakrishnan were signed for other important roles. Veteran music director S.P.Venkatesh was given the responsibility to compose songs and background score of the film.[11] Noorin Shereef was added to the cast later and she plays an artist who comes to Thrissur to retouch mural paintings of Puthanpally that were damaged during floods.[1][3] The director and the lead stars followed a unique marketing after the first look poster launch by making and presenting Appams to the guests.[4]
