==Production==
=== Development ===
[[Mohanlal]] and [[T. K. Rajeev Kumar]] were planning on making a stage play in 3D format. For that, they had a story but the director was not decided. They wanted someone experienced to direct the play, and hence [[Jijo Punnoose]] was consulted who directed India's first 3D film ''[[My Dear Kuttichathan]]'' (1984). On realising the play required a much larger budget than they expected, the project was put on hold. On their meeting, Jijo happened to talk about the story he wrote, ''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. 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'' written by Jijo Punnoose. 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>

===Casting===
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, [[Sara Vega]] and Caesar to act in the film. Mohanlal also said, “Barroz is a story set against the backdrop of the maritime history of Portugal, Spain, Africa and India. Barroz is indeed, about our shared heritage that we inherited from our ancestors”. Veteran actor director [[Pratap Pothen]] has announced that he has been cast in the film, where he will be playing the role of a [[Voodoo doll]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Mohanlal casts Pratap Pothen in Barroz |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/malayalam/2020/mar/06/mohanlal-casts-pratap-pothen-in-barroz-2112801.html |access-date=25 March 2020 |publisher=[[The New Indian Express]] |date=6 March 2020}}</ref>
