Production
The film marks Mouly Surya's first project that is based on an existing material. To fund the project, Surya sought funding from several sources, such as the Hubert Bals Fund, who also funded her sophomore release What They Don't Talk About When They Talk About Love in 2013. Additionally, Bangkok-based Purin Pictures also announced in 2020 that they selected the project to receive a US$30,000 production grant.
Release
The film began production in late 2019 and was set for a 2020 release. However, it was pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2021, Surya stated on Twitter that the film is likely to be pushed back due to the COVID-19 situation.
