The movie had wrapped up its shoot earlier this year in Kuttikanam. Mysore, Kattapana, Vaikom and Dharamsala were some of the other locations of the film, which began shooting in October 2021. John, who is half Malayali, had visited Kerala twice as part of the film’s promotions and even entertained the thought of doing a Malayalam film, but only if he gets to learn and understand the language well before he performs.

Meanwhile, John has completed his portions for the Bollywood remake of Ayyappanum Koshiyum, which also has Arjun Kapoor in the lead. The actor is busy with Tehran now.
