Ametuerish direction in parts

The film was in soup after the former director Sanjeev Pillai was sacked by the makers. The filmmaker was deported even though half of the film was finished. The director had an unfortunate fallout with producer Venu Kunnappilly. The producers were apparently disappointed with the way the director handled the shooting process. The movie went on the floors again last year with a lot of hype and the makers made it clear that the work of Sanjeev Pillai was not retained. Sanjeev was also ousted as screenplay writer for the film.

While M Padmakumar of Joseph fame was roped in as the film’s new director, actor-director Shanker Ramakrishnan penned the screenplay by adapting Sanjeev’s story. The whole film was shot from the beginning. The film has Unni Mukundan, Prachi Tehlan, Neeraj Madav, Anu Sitara among others in key roles. M Jayachandran composed music for the film and Manoj Pillai handled cinematography, while Raja Mohammad edited the film.
