Production

Jayasurya agreed to collaborate with film director Ranjith Sankar in March 2018, for the project titled Njan Marykutty. This film marks their fifth collaboration. Filming began in Muvattupuzha on 17 March 2018.

According to an interview given by the team, originally they thought of making a comedy film. As other trans movies with comedy, or sympathy theme already exist, later the plan was changed to create a movie with a positive message. Hence the character is someone who succeeded in life against all the odds. Also to avoid common pattern of long hair for trans characters in many movies, short hair was chosen in this movie.

Jayasurya revealed that his role as a transgender woman was the most difficult character that he ever played in his career and also revealed that he wanted to play the character to change the aspects and mindsets of the society that it generally thinks upon the transgender people.
