International Business Times, India edition talked exclusively with Rejin S Babu, the film's director, and he revealed some crucial details about Pendulum.

"The film falls in the category of thriller, laced with elements of time loop and lucid dreaming. As we all know, Malayalam audiences love experiments, and I hope this film will satisfy them. Pendulum is a team effort, and at this moment, I thank my producers, cast, and crew for supporting me since the day I conceived the film in my mind," said Rejin.

The concept of Pendulum is fresh, and if audiences welcome it in theaters, it will give that extra courage to other storytellers to come up with new themes and ideas."
