Production
Nithish Sahadev was first introduced to Magneto by his friend Aswin Nandakumar on Facebook, who ended up being the cinematographer of this short film.[3] In the post, a guy claimed to be Magneto and was arrested on drug charges, which formed the basis of the short film.[4] Sahadev's friend, Al Jaseem Abdul Jabbar, co-produced the short film along with his brothers after hearing the idea but not the story and told Sahadev not to compromise on the quality.[4] Actor Sandeep Pradeep did the VFX work for the short film.[4]
