==Production==
It is a new thought, that the director wanted his critically acclaimed film ''[[Aidondla Aidu]]'' to be made into [[Malayalam]]. After completing ''[[Trivandrum Lodge]]'', the director wanted to try a different ''[[Aidondla Aidu]]''.
The director was selective with choosing hardworking young and character suiting actors, [[Kunchacko Boban]] and [[Nithya Menen]] were chosen to play a pivotal couple, and [[Jayasurya]] and [[Meghana Raj]] were chosen to play a supporting couple, this is the second time the pair have come together first being the director's ''[[Beautiful (2011 film)|Beautiful]]''. [[Jayasurya]] was cast again after V. K. Prakash's ''[[Trivandrum Lodge]]'', in which he played the lead role. [[Padmapriya Janakiraman|Padmapriya]] and [[Nithya Menen]] were chosen to reprise their roles from the Kannada film ''Aidu Ondla Aidu''.
The shooting of the film began on 10 June 2012, in [[Bangalore]]. Jomon T. John is the cinematographer. The film was shot in Bangalore and [[Trivandrum]] in two schedules.<ref>{{cite web|title=Poppins is VK Prakash's next|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-06-10/news-and-interviews/32141490_1_poppins-short-film-sahitya-akademi|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130528110649/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-06-10/news-and-interviews/32141490_1_poppins-short-film-sahitya-akademi|url-status=dead|archive-date=28 May 2013|work=[[The Times of India]]|accessdate=14 June 2012}}</ref>
