The movie was set against the backdrop of the 2018 Nipah virus outbreak in Kerala. Muhsin co-wrote the screenplay with the duo Suhas-Sharfu. His 2020 release was Halal Love Story, second feature by Zakariya Mohammed after Sudani from Nigeria. Zakariya and Muhsin again joined to write the script and also credited as co-producers of the movie.
