Production

Manu started as an assistant director to Rajesh Pillai. While working in Pillai's Traffic in 2011, Manu interacted with its writers Bobby & Sanjay. According to Manu, it was two years ago that Bobby & Sanjay asked him if he would like to direct a story they have written based on an acid attack survivor. After Pillai's death in 2016, Manu was looking to direct a film himself. Bobby & Sanjay agreed to develop the subject into a script.

Early on, the makers decided on Parvathy Thiruvothu for the leading role. She agreed, and used a prosthetic make-up to create the appearance of the acid burn. She had to wear this four hours prior to the shooting, and used the prosthetic make-up for almost 70 percent of the film. On the challenges of doing the role, Parvathy said: "this is the kind of trauma one cannot ever relate to unless a person goes through it.

Filming that began in November 2018 was completed by the end of January 2019. It was shot in Kochi and Dhule. Part of the film was shot at Sheroes Hangout in Agra, a cafe run by acid attack survivors. Prosthetic makeup was done by Zuby Johal and Rajiv Subba of Dirty Hands Studio, a Bangalore-based makeup effects and FX company. Uyare was their first Malayalam film.
