Development
In 2000, Ranjith Sankar wrote the script for the hit TV serial, Nizhalukal, which was the first horror program to ever premier on Malayalam television. Citing it as an inspiration for the film, he said, "(I) have thought of umpteen subjects to explore the genre in movies all these years before arriving on this. Pretham is a horror comedy," on his Facebook profile.[4] [2]
In early May 2016, Jayasurya roped in Shruthi Ramakrishnan, who was previously seen in Ranjith's 2015 political drama Njan, and television personality Pearle Maaney to portray the female lead roles in the film.
On May 24, 2016, the film began rolling in the small town of Cherai in Ernakulam.
Justin Jose, who has previously worked in the 2015 Telugu epic film Baahubali: The Beginning and National Award-winning Bollywood film Bajrangi Bhaijaan, handles the sound design.
Release
On May 27, 2016, a 25-second teaser trailer was released on social media. After a series of questions with ominous music playing in the background, the short clip shows the title written in Malayalam, followed by a subtitle, Pani Thudangi (English: The work's started).[5][6]
