Development
Kishkindha Kaandam, the fourth book of the epic Ramayana, tells Rama and Lakshmana's hunt for Sita, leading them to the vanara realm of Kishkindha. However, director Dinjith Ayyathan said that, there is no direct connection to the epic. The story which is set in a reserve forest centers around lives of its inhabitants. The characters are surrounded by monkeys. The film's title has the tagline A Tale of Three Wise Monkeys, however the film is not on them. During the COVID-19 lockdown in Chennai, Dinjith and cinematographer Bahul Ramesh were in search for ideas. According to Dinjith, " We initially considered a script which was written by Bahul first, but later he narrated a different idea and completed the draft in eight days. That draft immediately excited me and made me decide that it should be my second film."
