Development

On announcing the film with a fresh face as a leading actor, the audience and the media was skeptical if director Mohamed Niyaz could deliver the required emotion and acting from the cast. Recalling his memory as a debutant in the film, Khalid called his character to a "challenging role" in which he initially had double thoughts for accepting a role of a negative character to make his first impression.
