In a recent interview with Film Companion, Midhun revealed if it hadn’t been with Jayaram, Abraham Ozler would have never been made. He explains, “It’s a very complex character and so I needed a seasoned actor but also someone who looks fresh in such a milieu. So we wanted to rope in Jayaram sir.” Despite initial scepticism from Jayaram, Midhun's conviction ultimately convinced the actor to take on the role.
