The film was initially discussed with Jayasurya in the lead role. For the film, he had to opt-out of a role in the Mohanlal-starrer Chotta Mumbai due to scheduling conflicts as per the original plan. However, the project got delayed as it progressed and Jayasurya got interested in the role of Monichan and took that part with Prithviraj Sukumaran replacing him in the lead role. [4]
The film was released on 21 December 2007.
