Production
Manisharma began Bayam Oru Payanam during mid-2015 and revealed that the film was "almost complete" by October 2015. Vishakha Singh, Bharath Reddy and Meenakshi Dixit were announced to be playing the lead roles in the film, with the makers describing it as a "female-orientated, horror film".[2] The team shot a twenty-day schedule in Munnar during late December 2015, with Vishakha Singh portraying a ghost in her scenes.[3][4] According to Vishakha Singh, the film was shot for 19 to 21 hours a day. Leeches were an issue during filming and a lot of the cast and crew encountered leech bites, except for her since she used eucalyptus oil and salt to prevent them.[5]
