The upcoming movie is helmed by filmmaker Venu and the venture is initiated by FEFKA Writers Union. GR Indugopa is the scenarist. 'Kaapa' is an abbreviation for The Kerala Anti-social Activities (Prevention) Act, which is commonly known as 'Goonda Act' in Kerala. This hints that the movie might be based on the same.
