Along with the release of the title, the film‘s technical crew has been revealed. PS Rafeeque, who worked with Lijo on Amen (2013), is writing the script.

On the technical side, the director has his go-to crew of cinematographer Madhu Neeekandan (Churuli), music director Prashanth Pillai (Amen, Ee.Ma.Yau), and editor Deepu Joseph (Jallikattu, Churuli). Tinu Pappachan, Lijo’s associate, also appears in this film.
