Saji surendran, who has directed six  mega  serials telecast in TV Channels, said that he landed a  feature film project rather late as the tag of a television serial director got stuck on him. ``Although I wanted to make a feature film long time ago, it got  delayed because I had problems finding a producer initially because we were a team of TV artistes. Almost all technicians in the film came from the TV field'', he said.

Finding an  actor to play the 22 year old lead character was  the biggest challenge for him. He had first  thought of casting  a newcomer  but was discouraged by the distributors and later casted Jayasurya. He  cooperated and also shed around 7-8 kg for the role.

Music director M. Jayachandran had  introduced seven singers in the film. Jayachandran said ``Many talented youngsters, including winners of various music reality shows, have been  waiting for years for  a chance for playback singing.Those behind this film have set a model by giving an opportunity to so many  newcomers.'' He however said that despite their talent, many newcomers lacked the dedication of veteran singers, such as Yesudas. Sometimes the younger singers become stars  with just one hit song and then they forget music itself, he added.
