The film was officially announced by Mohanlal in mid-March 2024, with Tharun Moorthy set to direct. Moorthy co-wrote the screenplay with K. R. Sunil, while M. Renjith of Rejaputhra Visual Media took on production responsibilities. Filming was planned to begin in April. In an interview, Moorthy revealed that following the success of his previous film, Saudi Vellakka (2022), Renjith expressed interest in collaborating on a new project. Moorthy and Sunil spent eight months developing the screenplay, based on a story they had conceptualized, which was eventually greenlit.[2] Moorthy described Mohanlal's character as down-to-earth.[3] The project had the working title L360, marking Mohanlal's 360th film.[4] Although the team had already finalized a title by the time the screenplay was completed, they opted to use a temporary title during production.[5][6]

Principal photography began on 22 April 2024, with Mohanlal and Shobhana joining on the same day.[7][8] Filming paused for a scheduled break in early July.[9] At that point, 70 days of shooting had completed, with 20–25 days remaining. Production was set to resume after Mohanlal finished his work on L2: Empuraan.[5] The second schedule concluded by the end of August.[10] Moorthy revealed that the final schedule would be shot in locations including Ranni, Thodupuzha, Vagamon, and Chennai. Mohanlal joined in Chennai.[11] Additional filming took place in Theni.[12] The production wrapped up in Thodupuzha on 1 November 2024,[13] after a total of 99 shooting days.[14] The film's title was announced later that month.[15]

Mohanlal finished his dubbing in November 2024.[16] After the death of editor Nishadh Yusuf, Shafeeque V. B. took over his role. Both of them received editing credits.[17]
