Going on to disclose that he felt the biting cold while shooting these sequences, Teja Sajja said, "I would be wearing boots and several layers of clothing including thermals. But despite all that, I would feel like as if scores of needles were pricking my feet every time I took a step."

The film’s screenplay has been crafted by Karthik himself, with Manibabu Karanam contributing both to writing and the dialogues. The world of Mirai has been brought to life with rich visual detail, thanks to Sri Nagendra Tangala, who heads the art department, while Sujith Kumar Kolli has been serving as the film's Executive Producer.
