Production[]
Jeethu Joseph began the pre-production work of Ram by late 2019, while involved in the post-production work of The Body and Thambi at the same time.[5] In September 2019, it was reported that Mohanlal and Trisha would be starring in Jeethu's high-budget thriller produced by Chennai-based Abhishek Films, which is to be shot in India and abroad, with filming set to begin in November, lasting 100 days.[6] Filming date was pushed to late December, to start during the releasing week of Thambi. Jeethu describes the genre as an action thriller with a story set in several countries.[7]
A pooja function for the film and a press meet was held on 16 December 2019, where the film's title was revealed. While interacting with the press, Jeethu said that he was approached by the producers three years ago to make a second film with Mohanlal after Drishyam (2013), "I was tensed about doing another film with Lalettan because it's a huge responsibility. It took me three years to come up with the right subject". During the casting process, Trisha was suggested for the role by Mohanlal.[8] He also suggested Prachi Tehlan for another role. The film also features Adil Hussain, Indrajith Sukumaran, and Durga Krishna in pivotal roles.[9] Filming was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The remaining scenes were to be shot in the United Kingdom. Till then, ₹14 crore was spent on the film and needed another ₹14 crore to complete filming. Due to the prevailing restrictions in the UK, they thought of shifting the location to France, but since it was costly, they are waiting for the restrictions to lift.[10]
Music[]
Composer Vidyasagar's protege Vishnu Shyam is the music director for the film. The lyrics for songs were written by Vinayak Sasikumar.[11]
Release[]
The film was planned to be released on 22 October 2020 during Pooja holidays but postponed due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. The film is now scheduled to be released in 2021.
