Development
After his debut feature film Photocopier in 2021, Bhanuteja began researching for his upcoming project and found many cyberbullying cases.[1] He stated that he was inspired by the numerous cases of cyberbullying which frequently stemmed from viral videos.[2] In October 2022, Singaporean film production company Momo Film boarded the project, announced it during the Busan Asian Contents and Film Market.[3]
Filming
Principal photography took place between November and December 2022 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.[4] The selection of Yogyakarta as the backdrop for the story is intricately connected to Bhanuteja's personal background and roots in the city. Set against the backdrop of Yogyakarta, the film incorporates a balanced use of both Javanese and Indonesian languages in its dialogues, reflecting the depiction of everyday life and activities in both casual and formal settings.[5]
