Synopsis

Aadhi (Prithviraj Sukumaran) is a Malayali, who works for a Tamilian gangster, Damodar Ratnam (Rahman). The story is narrated as a flashback by the hero, who is lying fatally wounded, but is not dead yet. He gives you some idea about how Detroit, the city that is situated in the US-Canada border, lost its charm some decades back and makes some curious comparisons to the plight of some of the upper caste households losing their might in Kerala.

The film was first announced by Prithviraj Sukumaran in July 2016 through his Facebook page. He has mentioned that 'Ivide' was his first honest attempt at a cross over film from Malayalam and his second one will be 'Ranam/Detroit Crossing'.[3] Ranam is produced by Anand Payannur and Lawson Biju under the banner Yes Cinema Productions and Lawson Entertainment.

Casting

Initially, Mamta Mohandas was cast as the female lead paired opposite Prithviraj Sukumaran, but was replaced by Isha Talwar as the former was unable to allocate dates due to her prior commitment for Carbon. The film's schedule was postponed following certain technical issues.[4][5] Tamil Actors Sampath Raj and Ashwin K. Kumar was confirmed by director on March 2017.[6] Malayalam actor Rahman replaced actor Sampath in the role and had joined the cast on October 2017.[7]

The filming began in Atlanta, Georgia on 22 August 2017.[8] Later the crew shifted to Augusta, Georgia and Detroit, Michigan to shoot the remaining portions. Over 95 per cent of the film was shot in the United States, and remaining portions in Kerala. Filming was completed in 45 days.[9]
