On the movie, Nivin tells us, “It’s an all-out entertainer. I am sure the audience will enjoy it. The visuals have all come out great. The movie involves travel to a lot of unexplored terrains. Apart from me, Siju Wilson, Saiju Kurup, Aju Varghese, Saniya Iyyappan and Grace Antony play the other main characters.” The film has Malavika Sreenath, who had played a small role in Joju George’s Madhuram, as its female protagonist.

The movie, which had Karnataka and Dubai as its main locations, will be Nivin’s next theatrical release after Padavettu, which is scheduled to hit theatres in September as an Onam release. On his upcoming films, Nivin says, “A lot of people have been asking when I am planning to do another humour-based project. Currently, the work for that has begun as I would be doing a romcom next with Vinay Govind’s Thaaram.”
