Debutante director Rakesh Gopan, who had served as associate to VKP and Rajasenan said, "It's based on a true story that happened in Kochi. The main characters are an IT professional, a TV channel reporter, a bank employee, a college student and a housewife", adding that the team will also bring out the real people who inspired the story, during the promotion of the film.
