Rahman’s last Malayalam outing was Sangeeth Sivan directed 1992 film Yoddha starring Mohanlal.
Director Sajimon has said that the entire film is shot in Kerala itself. Fahadh also had an accident during the shoot for the film in March. He had sustained injuries after he fell during a stunt scene on the sets. He was hospitalised and later discharged after a few days.
The shooting of the film began in January 2021.
