Production

Originally Aishwarya Rai and Katrina Kaif were the first female choices for this film but were replaced by Balan and Patel.[3] Vidya Balan had to take Kathak lessons for this film. Amisha Patel was asked by the director to work on her body and lose some weight for the film.

During the shooting of the film, Priyadarshan had requested the cast to not watch the original version of the film, being Manichitrathazhu.

The original story of the movie was written by Madhu Muttam. Though he claimed this movie as a violation of copyright, the High Court of Kerala allowed the violation of copyright, in light of the production cost.

The movie came under a cloud of controversy after a Buddhist organisation objected to the title song in the movie as disrespectful to venerated icons.
