Production

Following Rakshadhikari Baiju Oppu (2017), O.Baby is the fourth directorial of Ranjan Pramod after a six-year break. In an interview with OTTPlay, Ranjan said that Dileesh called him and discussed doing a film together. After discussing and finalizing the theme, Idukki was chosen as the main location, and Ranjan began writing the script there.

In an interview with The Hindu, Ranjan Pramod said that he chose Dileesh Pothan to play the lead role as he would be apt for the character. Haniya Naifsa, who played Nayanthara's daughter in Connect (2022), was cast in the role of Mini. The film makers chose her without an audition after seeing her photographs and videos on social media. Ranjan cast Saji Soman, son of the late M. G. Soman, as Haniya Nafisa's father.

The film was shot during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main shooting location was an estate near Anavilasam. The shoot lasted for 70 days.
