Production



'Who' began shooting June 2017 in Nainital, Uttarakhand, and took 20 days. Principal photography for the 'Who' began in 2017 May at Munnar. Crew planned two months break from filming as Shine Tom Chacko had prior commitments. On 23 July Ajay Devaloka started the filming in Naintal with Natural lighting. Devaloka was adamant that he wanted virgin geography which no cinema viewer had ever seen. So they were lucky and got the apt place in Uttarakhand.

The film depends mostly on mist, so it was challenging to keep the continuity as well. Locations of many scenes were in remote places far away from each other, which made the crew uneasy. Ultimately the second schedule wrapped up after 23 days shoot for Pearle Maaney to reduce her weight. The movie was completed in 3 schedules.

The film was officially announced as 'Isabella' and the title launch was done by director Mohan, who interestingly had a film 'Isabella' as director in 1988.

Music



'Who' is a Dolby Atmos motion picture. The Sound design is done by Vishakha Bokil and National award winner Sinoy Joseph is the mixing engineer in the film. The film was fully shot in Sync-Sound. Uyanga Bold who served as a vocalist for Hans Zimmer in the score of The Dark Knight lent her vocals for a song in the film.
