=== Development ===<br />
On 21 April 2019, [[Mohanlal]] published a [[blog]] post titled ''A New Journey Begins Barroz Guardian of D' Gama's Treasure'' announcing his directorial debut, a [[3D film]] based on the story ''Barroz – Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure'' by [[Jijo Punnoose]]. Mohanlal wrote that he and [[T. K. Rajeev Kumar]] were originally planning to make a stage play in 3D format. They had a story but a director was not decided. They wanted someone experienced and consulted Punnoose who directed India's first 3D film ''[[My Dear Kuttichathan]]'' (1984). However, as the play required a larger budget than what they expected, the project was put on hold. On that meeting, Jijo happened to talk about his story ''Barroz – Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure''. It excited Mohanlal who proposed the story has the potential to be made into a great movie and he would like to direct it. Punnoose welcomed the idea and encouraged him to direct. He revealed the film will be shot in [[Goa]] and the locations have been decided, and the cast includes many foreign actors.<ref>{{Cite web |date=24 April 2019 |title=A New Journey Begins Barroz Guardian Of D' Gama's Treasure Mohanlal Video Blog |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp9gqKu99bU |website=[[YouTube]] |publisher=[[Mohanlal]]}}</ref><br />

===Casting===<br />
In July, Mohanlal had posted on social media a video unveiling more details about the film. In the video, he said he had cast Rafael Amargo, [[Paz Vega]] and Caesar to act in the film.
