The director Chidambaram had announced his next project after the critically acclaimed and superhit film 'Manjummal Boys' in 2024. The movie was titled 'Balan'.

The makers announced the film last year with the first-look poster of the movie. The screenplay is penned by Jithy Madhavan, who made his mark with hits 'Romancham' and 'Aavesham'. 'Balan' will feature a completely fresh cast of newcomers, chosen through auditions.

The movie is produced by Venkat K Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn under the banner of KVN Productions and Thespian Films. The makers have not revealed the release date of the film.
