Take Off marks the maiden association of Kunchacko, Fahadh and Parvathy, and the movie is expected to discuss the serious issues faced in the Middle Eastern country.

Scripted by PV Shajikumar and Mahesh, the upcoming movie is being bankrolled by Anto Joseph and Shebin Bakker in association with Rajesh Pillai films, while Sanu Varghese of Vishwaroopam, Thoongaa Vanam and Wazir handles its cinematography.
