Production

Empuraan was supposed to be Prithviraj Sukumaran's second directorial, sequel to his debut film Lucifer (2019). On 16 June 2021, Prithviraj revealed via Instagram that he liked a storyline written by his daughter Alankrita which he likes to direct, but put aside for another screenplay that he heard which can be made a film amid the COVID-19 restrictions.

Prithviraj said that the kind of films produced during the pandemic period prompted him to take Bro Daddy, the pandemic forced filmmakers to make "contained films" that can be made within pandemic restrictions, "we are badly missing a happy film in Malayalam cinema over the past one and half year. All of the content we see in Kerala is dark.

Beside Mohanlal and Prithviraj, the rest of the cast billed in the title poster during the film's announcement were Kalyani Priyadarshan, Meena, Lalu Alex, Murali Gopy, Kaniha, and Soubin Shahir. Prithviraj called Unni Mukundan for the film while they were working on Bhramam. He also called Jagadish his other co-actor in Bhramam for a humorous role. Bro Daddy marks the Malayalam debut of Kannada actress Kavya Shetty and Tamil actor Charle.

Bro Daddy was scheduled to begin production only after Aashirvad Cinemas completes production of 12th Man which was supposed to begin on 5 July 2021, but held back after failing to obtain permission from the state government due to the restrictions pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, they decided to move ahead with Bro Daddy.
