The film is written by S Sanjeev and the music is composed by Sooraj S Kurup. Deepak D Menon will be handling the cinematography. Bhattathiri will edit the film along with Arunlal SP.

Speaking to The Times of India, Boban had revealed that after he had heard the script of Nizhal, he suggested Nayanthara’s name as they required someone to play a strong female role. Boban also added that Nayanthara loved the script. Due to the pandemic, projects were postponed and hence, they decided to go ahead with the film now.
The film, touted to be a thriller, will, reportedly, go on floors from Monday.
Nayanthara has already shared screen space with Boban in Twenty:20. She is awaiting the release of Mookuthi Amman, directed by RJ Balaji.
