The opening narration of the video gives the impression that the movie takes place in a dystopian time and place. A brief preview of the movie’s main protagonists follows, giving away an intriguing zombie science fiction plot. Professor Ambili, often known as Uncle Lunar, is portrayed by Jagathy Sreekumar. While Basil Joseph, Aju Varghese, Gokul Suresh, and Madhav Suresh seem to be Uncle Lunar’s squad that would be fighting the zombies, it is suggested that Anarkali Marikar plays Uncle Lunar’s estranged daughter Tara. Meanwhile, the characters played by Vineeth Sreenivasan and Ganesh Kumar seems to contribute to the humourous aspect of Vala.

The supporting cast includes Shelvin, Arjun Nandakumar, Bhagath Manuel, and John Kaippallil. Janardanan has also given a cat named Thankachan his voice in this film. Surjith S Pai has helmed the camera works, while Ceejay Achu is the editor. Sankar Sharma has composed soundtracks and background score for the movie, which is bankrolled by Turtle Vine Productions and Letters Entertainments.
