Production
After making audio biographies about left-wing politics about E. M. S. Namboodiripad, A. K. Gopalan and P. Krishna Pillai, Nagendran went on to work on a feature film about these politicians with Sudheesh, Baiju, and Samuthirakani reprising the roles of Namboodiripad, Gopalan, and Pillai, respectively. A 6 kilometer set was erected in Kollam and all signals of the modern day including light posts and electrical lines were removed. Three-thousand actors have acted in the film, many of which are labourers who were trained to act. Cinematographer Kaviyarasu debuts in Mollywood with this film. Real footage from the Indian independence movement was included in the film.[4]
Soundtrack
Eight composers have composed the film songs and twenty singers have sung the songs. This film is the last film that V. Dakshinamoorthy composed music for. Activist P. K. Medini composed and sang a song in addition to acting in the film.[4][5] Anchal Udayakumar composed the background score for the film.[6]
