With photos of crew members on the sets, it has now been verified that the film's production has started. Videos of Kayadu's arrival in Kerala were recently making the rounds on social media, confirming it.
Fans of the actor and movie buffs were excited to learn that Tovino Thomas would be collaborating on an action thriller with Dijo, the director who gained fame for films like Queen, Jana Gana Mana, and Malayalee From India. The COVID-19 epidemic and numerous lockdowns have caused Palli Chattambi to be postponed indefinitely, which has been in the headlines for some time. The director did, however, affirm in an interview last year that the project will shortly be restarted in 2025.
