The final schedule of Prithviraj's Vilayath Buddha commenced on Saturday in Marayoor. The makers have planned a 50-day-long shoot, with which the entire film will be wrapped up. Debutant director Jayan Nambiar, a former associate of Sachy, is directing the film. It is produced by Urvashi Theatres.

Vilayath Buddha is the big-screen adaptation of GR Indugopan's novel of the same name. Indugopan and Rajesh Pinnadan are scripting the film, which primarily revolves around two characters — an old named Bhaskaran Master, and his protege, a smuggler named Double Mohanan. The conflict is about the two men trying to claim ownership of a sandalwood tree planted by the former. While Prithviraj plays the latter's role, Shammy Thilakan has been cast in the role of Bhaskaran Master.

Anu Mohan, Thottappan-fame Priyamvada Krishnan, Kottayam Ramesh and Asuran-fame Teejay Arunasalam are also part of the cast. Arvind Kashyap, who shot to fame with Kantara, is handling the cinematography. Jakes Bejoy is the music director, and Sreejith Sarang will be handling the edits.
