The film's technical crew features Vignesh Govindarajan as the cinematographer and Barath Veeraraghavan as the music composer. Editing is by Devathyan, while Bhuvaneshwaran has served as the co-director. The art direction is handled by Raja, and stunts have been choreographed by PC Stunts.

Lyricists Mohan Rajan, Karthick Netha, and Chandy have penned the songs for the film.

Speaking about the project, director Uday K shared that the film's narrative is designed to be fast-paced and engaging, with major portions shot across Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry, and select sequences filmed in notable North Indian locations.

Adding to its uniqueness, Akkenam features a background score recorded in a well-known European recording studio, enhancing the cinematic experience. With filming complete, the project is currently in its post-production phase and gearing up for release.
