Production

In October 2018, Tovino Thomas was announced to star in Jeo Baby's third directorial film, with whom Thomas earlier collaborated in the 2016 film 2 Penkuttikal. The film was also titled as Kilometers and Kilometers, which is a famous dialogue from the Mohanlal-starrer Mazha Peyunnu Maddalam Kottunnu (1986). Thomas was reported to play a youth from a rural area and it is touted to be a road-drama film.

Jeo Baby, approached American actress India Jarvis to play the role of Catherine, after he tried to cast a foreign actress for the role since 2017. Jeo explained that the process was tough since many foreigners were not ready to come to India because of safety concerns and the difficult work schedules.

Shooting of the film commenced in February 2019, with Tovino sharing few pictures from Ladakh as a part of the shoot. In March 2019, the team moved to Kozhikode where the second schedule of filming progressed. The team travelled across the country for 36 days, covering Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat and Rajasthan, where many important parts of it were shot. The climax portion was shot in the Himalayas.
