The movie Kalamkaval was announced earlier with the tentative title Production No 7, as it is being bankrolled by Mammootty Kampany. Aside from Mammootty, the film also has Jailer actor Vinayakan as the co-lead, playing a positive-shaded role.

With Faisal Ali handling the cinematography, Mujeeb Majeed composed the music. Moreover, the film’s editing responsibilities are being fulfilled by Praveen Prabhakar.

On the actor’s work front, Mammootty was last seen playing the lead role in the movie Dominic and the Ladies' Purse. The Gautham Vasudev Menon-directed flick is a mystery comedy thriller about a disgraced yet sharp and nice ex-police officer who runs his own detective agency.

With the help of his assistant, he tries to find the owner of a ladies’ purse, which leads them down to uncover a more sinister crime happening around them.

With Mammootty in the lead role, the film also features key roles for Gokul Suresh, Sushmitha Bhat, Viji Venkatesh, Siddique, Vineeth, and many others.

Furthermore, Mammootty is currently filming for the film tentatively titled MMMN. The upcoming flick directed by Mahesh Narayanan has Mohanlal in a special appearance with Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, and many more in key roles.
