Production

According to B. Unnikrishnan, Mr. Fraud is not a total heist film, neither does it quite follow the conventions and cliches of a crime caper. "Mr. Fraud is a curious mix. It is part grey, part action, part thriller and part musical," says the director. He adds: "It's the first time I am attempting this genre, I have never tried my hands at a potboiler before.

Though delayed for a while due to Mohanlal's Ayurvedic treatment, the film commenced its production on 19 February 2014. The film was shot mainly from Ottappalam and Kochi in two schedules. Aspinwall House, Kochi was a significant location. The climax scenes were shot from Mumbai and Jaipur. The shooting of the film was wrapped on the day of Vishu festival (15 April) in Jaipur.
