The makers of Asif Ali-starrer Kishkindha Kaandam, slated to hit theatres on September 12 as an Onam release, dropped the first single titled Vaanara Lokam. The song, with lyrics written by Shyam Muraleedharan to Mujeeb Majeed's composition, is sung by Job Kurian and Jmymah. The film is helmed by Dinjith Ayyathan, who earlier made his directorial debut with another Asif-starrer Kakshi Amminipilla (2019).

It is produced by Joby George Thadathil under the banner of Goodwill Entertainments, which is also overseeing its distribution.
