			== Production ==
			The film's story was developed by [[Joshiy]], Hassan and [[Cochin Haneefa]] on the sets of Hassan's ''[[Benz Vasu]]''. The film was planned to be directed by Hassan. After narrating the script of the film to Jayan, he suggested that Joshiy direct the film. However, the film's distributor, Raj Pictures rejected the proposal as Joshiy was considered an unlucky director as his debut directorial, ''[[Tiger Salim]]'' was a commercial failure. They wanted Hassan to direct the film and told him that they would not co-operate if Joshiy was made film director. Hassan suggested that they direct the project under the name of Joshiy-Hassan. However, Joshiy did not agree and offered to [[Ghostwriter\|ghost direct]] the project. However, Jayan did not allow that and threatened to walk out of the project if Joshiy wasn't made director.<ref>[https://www.doolnews.com/director-joshy-talks-about-actor-jayan-64-122.html ജോഷി സംവിധാനം ചെയ്താല്‍ മാത്രമേ ഞാന്‍ സിനിമയില്‍ അഭിനയിക്കൂ ജയന്‍ അന്നങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞു - ജോഷി] ''DoolNews'', 9 January 2023</ref>
