Nivin's Pauly's Sarvam Maya, Shane Nigam's Haal and Biju Menon-Joju George's Valathu Vashathe Kallan are some of them. Joining the race is Aghosham, headlined by Narain.

He has scripted Aghosham based on a story by Dr Lizy K Fernandez, who also serves as the film's co-director and co-producer. It is also backed by Dr Prince Prosi Austria and team.

Aghosham also stars Dhyan Sreenivasan, Aju Varghese, Pani-fame Bobby Kurian, Vijayaraghavan, Jaise Jose, Shaju Sreedhar, Johny Antony, Renji Panicker, Maqbool Salman, Kaillash, Kottayam Ramesh, and Rosmin. It has Rojo Thomas as the cinematographer, Don Max as the editor, and Stephen Devassy composing the songs. 4 Musics handles the background score, with additional music by Goutham Vincent.
