Dubbing artist cum actress Bhagyalakshmi plays his wife, and interestingly, actor Indrans plays a villainous character, probably for the first time in his career.

Aniyankunjum Thannalayathu has Alagappan as the cinematographer and Shibu Gangadharan as the associate director. The movie was shot in Washington DC and Thiruvananthapuram.
