The responsibilities of the project will be handled by Mehta's production and distribution company E4 Entertainment. E4 entertainment's first Malayalam production was 2012's Annayum Rasoolum, directed by Rajeev Ravi. And after two years, they got into the distribution business with the movie Njan Steve Lopez, also directed by Rajeev Ravi.
