Siddique, Hareesh Kanaran, Bala, Sai Kumar, Kailas, Sudheer Karamana, Suresh Krishna, Devan, Anil Murali, Janardhanan, Bindu Panicker and Priyanka form the movie’s supporting cast. Alby will be cranking the camera and John Kutty will handle the edits. The multi faceted Nadirshah has been signed as the music director.
