Production
Sreekanth and Adith are officers in merchant navy and were college mates. They decided to make the film once they zeroed in the subject and communicated through email to complete the screenplay. Major funding for the movie was done by seafarers, mainly the captains and chief engineers who sailed with Adith and Sreekanth and their batchmates from their college.[3] 15 actors were selected through audition held at Trivandrum, conducted by Criyathmah and they had to undergo 3 days acting workshop under actor Santhosh Keezhattoor and Anuj Ramachandran. The principal photography of the film started on 13 August 2017 and the film was shot at the locations of Trivandrum, Kanyakumari, Waynad and Kannur, with the scenes involving Adith alone was shot with just the actor, director and cinematographer. The film was completed in a span of 45 days.[5] Adith and Sreekanth along with their friends, Rakesh, Jithin A K, Jithin K V and Davis co-founded the production house 'LetGo Productions', where ‘Let Go’ is the terminology to drop the anchor, as commanded by the captain of the ship.[6][7]
