For the first time, Nivin is collaborating with B Unnikrishnan. On September 11, the makers hosted the puja ceremony for this film in Thiruvananthapuram, where it was majorly shot. In this political drama, Balachandra Menon will also have a significant role. However, the director has not revealed the remaining cast members or the anticipated release date.
