Production

In August 2023, it was reported that Mammootty and Arjun Ashokan were collaborating for a horror thriller film. The film is directed by Rahul Sadasivan. On 17 August 2023, Mammootty shared a poster featuring a haunted mansion and revealed that the shooting for the film had begun.

Titled Bramayugam, the film was launched on the occasion of Chingam 1. Chakravarthy Ramachandra launched a production house exclusively for horror films, Night Shift Studios, debuting with Bramayugam. The film was scripted by Rahul Sadasivan and novelist T. D. Ramakrishnan penned the dialogues. At the launch of the film, Sadasivan noted that the story is "rooted in the dark ages of Kerala".

Shehnad Jalal was announced as the cinematographer and Christo Xavier as the music director, while Jothish Shankar worked on the film as a production designer.

Sadasivan revealed that he wrote Bramayugam before Bhoothakalam during the COVID lockdown, and it took him eight months to complete it. T. D. Ramakrishnan helped him develop the script and make the dialogue nuanced to fit the period the story is set in. As the film is set in the 17th century and being a period film, he conceived it in black-and-white format.

Cast members announced during the film's launch included Arjun Ashokan, Sidharth Bharathan and Amalda Liz. Reportedly, Mammootty takes on the role of the antagonist, who allocated 30 days to the film, while Arjun Ashokan portrays the protagonist with 60 days allocated for the film.
