Production

Ghost Child is Chen Hanwei's feature-length film debut; previously he only appeared in numerous Singaporean television series. Chen wanted to reject the role offered to him due to his busy schedule at first, but later agreed. According to producer Lim Teck, Chen agreed to commit to the film for "a plate of cheap [Hainanese] chicken rice", while Chen himself said it was because:

[...] I really wanted to do this film and they really wanted me for the role, so my manager just squeezed out time for it, no matter how tight it is.

Chen had also previously mentioned that he joined the project as he was "a fan of the people behind it".
