The movie had gone on floors earlier this year in January, with the shooting beginning on January 28 in Erattupetta, Kottayam. In March this year, during the shooting of the film, Fahadh Faasil had sustained injuries after a fall on the sets and was discharged from the hospital a few days later.
Fahadh recently made his Telugu debut with the Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1 which revolves around the red sanders heist in the hills of Andhra Pradesh. He essays the role of an IPS officer named Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat in the movie.
