The music is composed by Alex Paul and the background score was composed by Ouseppachan. The screenplay is based on a story written by Fazal. The film's name gives the impression that it is a sequel to the comedies "In Harihar Nagar", "2 Harihar Nagar" and "In Ghost House Inn", but it is completely unconnected.[1][2]

There, they also have to face John Honai, the real owner of the three crore rupees who has come from Kerala to retrieve it.
