There were reports that the film was slated to release in February; however, it has been delayed.

Cast and crew of Manjummel Boys

Jan.E.Man-fame Chidambaram is directing this film. The screenplay for Manjummel Boys has also been penned by the director himself. This film, featuring an ensemble cast, will not be like his unexpected 2021 hit debut film, which starred Basil Joseph and Balu Varghese in lead roles.

Chidambaram stated that Manjummel Boys is not even a comedy in an interview with OTTPlay. "It is more about friendship and travel among a group of young men than it is about humour," he said.

While some of it was shot in Kochi, the majority of it was in Tamil Nadu. Soubin Shahir, Sreenath Bhasi, Balu Varghese, Ganapathy, Chandu Salimkumar, Deepak Parambol, and Arun Kurian are playing prominent roles in this film. Lal Jr and Khalid Rahman will also be seen in pivotal roles.
