The filming of Nithin Renji Panicker's second film, Kaval, commenced on Saturday. Suresh Gopi has joined the sets of the film, which also stars Renji Panicker as one of the main leads. The latter has replaced actor Lal, who opted out due to scheduling conflicts. 

A filmmaker-turned-actor, Renji is known for scripting some of Suresh Gopi's biggest hits, including Commissioner, Ekalavyan and Thalasthanam.

Kaval is being touted as an action thriller-cum-family drama and also stars Zaya David, Muthumani, Sujith Sankar, Alencier, and Kannan Rajan P Dev among others. Joby George’s Goodwill Entertainments is bankrolling the film.
