Production
Cinematographer Ramachandra Babu writes in his blog: "Since the film Devalokam stopped half way, M.T. wanted to give Muhammed Kutty one more chance in the film written by him and directed by M. Azad, Vilikkanundu Swapnangal. In a confrontation scene Muhammed Kutty proved himself as an actor with much potential against a stellar performance by Sukumaran. In the film his voice was not used but instead Sreenivasan had dubbed for him!"[3]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by M. B. Sreenivasan and the lyrics were written by Sreedharanunni.
