Talking about the shooting of the film, Unnikrishnan told The News Minute, "Due to the Covid-19 protocols, the majority of the movies that were shot recently don't have stunt choreography, but our film has. So, the fight master and his assistants will quarantine for seven days and then take the tests. Even during the shoot, they will maintain social distancing. This is how big films are being made in Bollywood."

On further COVID-19 precautions, the director shared, "If the movie was being made in normal circumstances, it would have cost us at least Rs 30 Cr. But the entire cast and crew including Mohanlal are co-operating with us in terms of reducing the remuneration. We are taking extra care to make sure everyone is safe on the sets. For accommodation, we are renting the entire hotel even if we aren’t using all the rooms and the hotel personnel too would be monitored. We are also testing the junior artistes; so we are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to the safety of the team."

Aaraattu also stars Shraddha Srinath as the female lead along with Saikumar, Siddique, Vijayaraghavan and Ashwin Kumar in pivotal roles.
