The director of the movie Eshavar Karthic shared that he wanted to keep the element of mystery and thrill going throughout the trailer as well as the movie. In order to achieve that, none of the crew members knew who is the antagonist in the movie and who is behind the mask. He revealed how they were shooting with a small team and thus it was more difficult to maintain the suspense of the actor because of the little crew and group. The debutant director further shared:

Everyone would be making a guess but no one knew. I wanted everyone to unfold the surprise at the end which made it all real with the thriller. Everyone was jumping when we were shooting the climax scene because they were so keen.

The viewers of the movie will find out who is behind the mask and which actor is the face of the antagonist upon the release of the film. The members of Amazon Prime Video in India and more than 200 countries and territories worldwide can watch the movie Penguin in the OTT platform to know who will be making Keerthy Suresh's character Rhythm's life miserable in the movie.
