Production

The film is partly based on Padmarajan's novel Udakappola. Director Bharathan did the illustration for this novel when it was serialised in Malayalanadu weekly. Part of the film, especially Jayakrishnan's lifestyle in the town, is loosely based on one of Padmarajan's friends, Karakath Unni Menon. Padmarajan met Unni Menon when the former was working at All India Radio, Thrissur.

The popular bar scene in the film was shot in Sharabi Bar of Casino Hotel, situated near the Shaktan Thampuran Private Bus Stand in Thrissur. Thoovanathumbikal was the first film to be shot there, the hotel and the bar have since appeared in many films. It was extensively shot in and around Thrissur, some scenes were also shot in Ottappalam, Palakkad. The film was shot in places such as Sree Kerala Varma College and Vadakkunnathan Temple.
