The film will first release in theaters and later will follow the OTT route. Mohan Lal has also announced that the film will be having a theatrical release first.

The film is being written and directed by Priyadarshan and stars Mohan Lal, Arjun Sarja, Suniel Shetty, Prabhu, Manju Warrier, Keerthy Suresh, Suhasini, Pranav Mohan Lal, Siddique and others in prominent roles.
