Production

The film was announced by Akhil Akkineni in September 2020, tentatively titled Akhil 5, with Surender Reddy as the director. It was officially launched on Akkineni's birthday in April 2021, revealing the title and posters. A pooja ceremony was held on the launch day.

Akkineni's role as a spy was reportedly inspired by the character of Jason Bourne from the American film series Bourne. Akkineni bulked up his body for the role. In December 2020, model Sakshi Vaidya was confirmed as the female lead. In March 2021, Mohanlal was approached for the role of a military officer. Subsequently, Upendra was also considered, but the role was ultimately signed by Mammootty, whose casting was confirmed in June 2021.

Filming began in July 2021 in Hyderabad, India. Mammootty joined the production in October 2021 in Budapest and completed filming his portions. In March 2022, sequences featuring Akkineni were shot in Hyderabad Metro. The following month, the production moved to Visakhapatnam and shot a few actions episodes and a song at the Visakhapatnam Port.
