Ron wrote the script with Ayam Fared, Pitt Hanif, Amri Rohayat, and Muhammad Syafiq. Bront Palarae and his wife, Rozi Isma, served as producers for Pixel Play.
Namron chose to highlight bribery as the main subject of the film. The cast is made up of actors from Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia, including Timothy Castillo, Amerul Affendi, Ario Bayu, and Asmara Abigail. Nam Ron also mentioned that this film is not "anti-cops" or "anti-police", instead he called it as "anti-graft" film. The film script was rejected twice by former inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar before it got the green light to be filmed. Zahiril Adzim tells the media that the film didn't want to hurt police image, instead the film is all about action of police being greedy. Same statement pulls out from the director himself to the media.
