Production
Prior to release, the film garnered attention for being the "longest one-shot film in India". In late 2020, the entire film was shot in about 8 hours with 80 technicians on the set.[1] Prior to the shoot, the cast members rehearsed for up to 180 days.[citation needed] Soon after its shoot, the makers marketed it as "the first movie in the Indian film industry to be entirely completed in a single shot", but later backtracked after the theatrical release of R. Parthiban's Iravin Nizhal (2022), another single shot film.[2][3][4]
The film's director, Aju Kizhamala, revealed that he had rejected advances from OTT service providers in late 2020 to ensure the film had a theatrical release.[5]
