Crew planned two months break from filming as [[Shine Tom Chacko]] had prior commitments. On July 23 [[Ajay Devaloka]] started the filming in Naintal with Natural lighting. Devaloka was adamant that he wanted virgin geography which no cinema viewer had ever seen. So they were lucky and got the apt place in [[Uttarakhand]].		===Filming===
	The film depends mostly on mist, so it was challenging to keep the continuity as well. Locations of many scenes were in remote places far away from each other, which made the crew uneasy. Ultimately the second schedule wrapped up after 23 days shoot for [[Pearle Maaney]] to reduce her weight. The movie was completed in 3 schedules.
