Harris Desom, one of the co-producers of the film, took to his social networking page to share the update on the movie and that the movie will be heading to post-production phase now. Ayisha, which went on floors in January 2022, had an extensive schedule in Ras Al Khaimah, where they shot at the Al Qasimi Palace. Part of the film was also shot in Mumbai.

Apart from Manju, the film also has Classmates fame Radhika, who was last seen in the Shane Nigam-starrer Oolu in 2019. The movie also has a bunch of international artistes from Tunisia, UAE, Philippines, Nigeria, Syria and Yemen.
