Then he hears about a film institute and he manages to convince his family to let him join the institute. There, instead of learning about cinema, he gets confused. He quits the film institute and tries to make a zero budget film casting his brother in law as the hero and chooses supporting actors from random people he meets. But the shoot goes wrong and turns into chaos and an actor is accidentally killed by Shibu. Then he desperately tries to cover up the murder. Meanwhile, he meets with a girl named Kalyani in a match-making meet and how their aspirations brings them together forms the rest of the story. [8]

Production

The film has music by Sachin Warrier. Sachin wrote about it, "‘Omal Kanmani’ composed by Bijibal sir from the 2015 movie ‘32aam Adhyayam 23aam Vaakyam’ is a song that's close to heart among the ones I’ve sung so far. The directors of the movie, Arjun and Gokul came to me to narrate a story recently, and I had a lot of fun listening to it. I believe it'll turn out to be an interesting film. Super happy to associate with Arjun and Gokul, as a composer in their second film" said Sachin Warrier.
