Scripted by Sreehari Vadakkan based on a story by Vijesh, Prakambanam also features Ameen, Mallika Sukumaran, Azees Nedumangad, P P Kunhikrishnan, Aneesh Gopal, and Sanesh Guinness in prominent roles. The film's technical team includes cinematographer Alby Antony, editor Sooraj E S and music director Bipin Ashok. It is jointly backed by Sreejith, Sudhish and Blessy under the banners of Navarasa Films and Lakshmikanth Creations, with Monsy Verghese, Dhilor Joseph and Rijosh George serving as co-producers.
Ganapathi was last seen in Khalid Rahman's sports comedy Alappuzha Gymkhana, headlined by Naslen.
