Production
It is the first independent film of Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award winning writer Sreebala K Menon, who was the former associate of director Sathyan Anthikad in five of his films.[11] Sreebala, initially penned the script, started it as the plot for a short story, but later weaved into a feature film with some changes. About the media-oriented theme, Sreebala says, "In Malayalam we have seen stories revolving around the life of reporters, the risks they take and the drama happening, both in the print and visual media. But what happens behind the camera, the normal life of news presenters, who in themselves are celebrities these days, are not explored much. Love 24x7 delves into those things."[12]
The filming wrapped up in the last week of June 2015.[13]
