The film has Mammootty playing the lead character named Kalasadanan Ullas. The project was announced last year and the title poster of this film was unveiled on the Kerala Piravi Day and it was played in all theatres that screened Mohanlal’s Drama, which released on the same day at the theatres.

The film has been scripted by Ramesh Pisharody along with Hari P Nair. While the cinematography will be taken care of by Alagappan, the editing will be done by Lijo Paul. Deepak Dev is in charge of the music.
Mammootty is also going to work in a film called One, scripted by Bobby and Sanjay. The actor is believed to play Kerala Chief Minister in the political film. Meanwhile, Maamaankam, that he has been busy with, is a historical based on a medieval fair for warriors. This week, Mammootty's film Unda is releasing in time for Eid.
Mammootty's latest release Madhura Raja, sequel to his 2010 film Pokkiri Raja, that released last month has managed to enter the Rs 100 crore club in 45 days.
