Production

Lohithadas initially got the idea for the script after being disturbed by the casual attitude of people towards the sexual exploitation of small girls by men. The idea of a watch repairer was not his original intention, he only wanted the story to be that of an overthinking father. However, one day, while on a walk, he saw a watch repairer intensely looking at a watch. This gave him the idea of a watch repairer.

When discussions about casting Sarojini began, several members of the crew suggested Sreelakshmi for the role. Sreelakshmi was, at the time acting in a serial called Maranam Durbalam for DD Malayalam. Lohithadas liked the suggestion and asked for Jose's opinion. He also agreed. A screen test was conducted. However, Venu and Mammootty thought that she wasn't suitable for the role and recommended Sukanya for the role.
