Sayanna Varthakal is the 2nd directorial attempt of Arun Chandu who was a former associate of director Vineeth Sreenivasan. During an interview to The New Indian Express Arun said, "Sayanna Varthakal is a media-related story and the title is actually a reference to the title of the media channel run by Dennis (Dhyan Sreenivasan). Gokul Suresh plays the character Ravi Kumar, a government employee who crosses paths with Dennis." Sayanna Varthakal began its principal photography in late June 2018, and it was shot in various locations, including Ernakulam, Kolkata and Nepal border.[9][10][11]
