I. V. Sasi wanted to make a film on teenagers without intimacy and decided to cast relative newcomers.[1]
The lives of today's teenagers are like Vellathooval (white feathers). That feather will fly under the influence of whatever force. It will land on flowers and thorns. That white feather is present throughout the film. You will understand how the white feather is related to the story of the film if you watch the film.
