Production

Director Vijay Jayapal said that the idea of the film came to his mind after reading an article about the Germanwings Flight 9525 crash where the pilot had crashed the plane, since he was having some suicidal thoughts. He said, "I was quite intrigued and disturbed by this story and the underlying themes of death and guilt." He then worked on the story for the next year and a half with an idea to make The Shining meets Winter Sleep.

Jayapal had heard a series of strange growls from the roof on a resort in Kerala where he was on a family trip. He decided to use them in the film to show the character's guilt. He said, "You don't know whether the growling is real or just in his mind. It's meant to amplify his fear." After scouting for locations in Lonavala and Uttarakhand, Jayapal settled for a hotel in Manali for the film's setting.
