According to Dr. Biju, the film is a surrealist film that captures the war and the story is not focused on a particular place or language but is equally important all over the world. He said "I have opted for a different treatment for the film, especially the choice of music, which has more of an esoteric, universal flavour."

Radhika Lavu has led the production of the film after producing two successful Telugu web series under the Ellanar Films banner. The film also marks the maiden production of Mythri Movie Makers in Malayalam cinema. Indian American composer Ricky Kej was signed to compose the music marking his first Malayalam film.
