Movie enthusiasts and admirers of the actor have been eagerly anticipating the movie since the makers have disclosed so little about the plot and characters.

The fact that Suresh Gopi will be appearing in a role that he has never played before in his career only serves to raise expectations even more. "People presume that the actor will play a police officer or someone who is investigating if it is a Suresh Gopi film,” said Sanal in an interview with OTTplay. "Suresh Gopi would not be playing a police officer in this thriller,” he continued.

The mystery drama's screenplay is penned by Sesham Mikeil Fathima director Manu C Kumar. He told OTTplay that there would be no cliche mass scenes or investigation sequences in the movie. The scriptwriter also mentioned that a month after he gave the one-liner to Suresh Gopi, the screenplay was finished and formatted correctly.
