Production
The success of Sriram Raghavan's Hindi film Andhadhun prompted regional film makers to remake the film in several Indian regional languages. The official announcement of the film being remade in Tamil as Andhagan,[5] in Telugu as Maestro,[6] and in Malayalam as Bhramam happened almost at the same time.[7] AJ International signed actors Prithviraj Sukumaran, Mamta Mohandas, Raashi Khanna, Unni Mukundan and Shankar to do the roles of Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu, Radhika Apte, Manav Vij and Anil Dhawan's roles respectively for the Malayalam version to be directed by cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran.[citation needed]

As per news reports, local police suspect suicide as he was found hanging.[8][9][10] Principal photography wrapped in early March.[11]
