Production and release
Principal photography commenced in 2018, with post-production audio mixing work done in Thailand.[3] Originally intended to play in theatres in 2020, the film's release was delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, lead actor Alien Huang’s death in September 2020 and production problems.[4] In early September 2023, it was announced that the film will be released on 8 February 2024 in Singapore, during the Chinese New Year holidays.[5][6] But however, it was still withdrawn at the last minute.
