Neerali was financed by Santhosh T. Kuruvilla under his company Moonshot Entertainments and co-produced by John Thomas and Mibu Jose Nettikadan. It was written by Saju Thomas and directed by Ajoy Varma in his debut in Malayalam cinema, having earlier worked as editor and director in Bollywood. The film was officially announced by lead actor Mohanlal on 3 October 2017, with yet to be titled. Filming was said to begin soon after he has finished his work in Odiyan. When asked, Varma said to The Times of India that the film is a "drama-thriller" set in Mumbai, Pune, and Sri Lankan locales, and the principal photography would took place between December 2017 and January 2018. Since more clarity was to be made for few more details, Mohanlal's character and the rest of the cast was not revealed. The film's title was revealed on 27 January 2018 along with a title poster.
Principal photography began on 9 January 2018 in Mumbai, India, with Santosh Thundiyil serving as director of photography. Parvatii was present on the first day of shoot. Mohanlal joined the sets by the fourth week of January. Stunt scenes were choreographed by Sunil Rodriguez. Serena Tixeria was the make-up artist. Costumes were designed by Himanshi Nijhawan, while Udai Prakash Singh was in control of the art department. Location filming continued in Mumbai to the following month, with some of the locations being Bhandup, Powai, and Mira Road.
Release
Neerali is scheduled to be released in India on 14 June 2018 on the eve of Eid al-Fitr.
