He said in an interview with Malayala Manorama, "Vaikom is the home of the writer Basheer, the character Majeed and also the actor Mammootty.

Besides, Basheer is believed to have written Balyakalasakhi during his brief stay at a house in Lower Chitpur Road in Kolkata, he explains.

The 18-day schedule included various places such as Victoria Memorial, Chhote Lal Ghat, in front of Town Hall.
