The film was originally announced with Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kunchacko Boban, and Soubin Shahir as the lead actors but due to pandemic and date issues, they opted out. Tovino Thomas, Roshan Mathew, and Shine Tom Chacko have replaced them respectively. Girish Gangadharan has replaced Shyju Khalid as the cinematographer and the music department will be handled jointly by Bijibal and Rex Vijayan.
Vaikom Muhammad Basheer’s short story Neelavelicham was adapted on screen earlier in 1964. After nearly six decades later the same short story is getting a silver screen adaptation, so the expectations are high due to the star director and talented actors.
Tovino Thomas is also waiting for the release of Vishnu G Raghav's directorial court drama Vaashi with National Award-winning actress, Keerthy Suresh. The release date is yet to be announced.
