The film will contain both elements of indie and mainstream filmmaking.
The sole majority of the cast were also present in FPJ's Ang Probinsyano, an acclaimed television series starring primetime king Coco Martin, who is the director, producer and lead actor of this film.
Susan Roces was slated to star in the film but was dropped off due to Roces not wanting to because she doesn't like to be urged so hard working with the film; as said by director Coco Martin.
Kylie Versoza and Mariel De Leon were casted as a purpose of being beauty queens in real life, with the former being the winner of Miss International 2016. They are the leading ladies and both of them serve as an acting debut to this film.
The film serves as Coco Martin's directorial and producing debut. Furthermore, he will direct as the pseudonym "Rodel Nacianceno", his real birth name. He also had his own film company called CCM Film Productions.
Awra Briguela's role will be different here compared to his previous works. Rather than being comical and humorous, he is slated to become a monster over the course of the film.
Jake Cuenca, the actor who plays Antonio Domingo / Lizardo stated that this was one of the most intense roles he has ever done. He talked about the similarities of the character to Heath Ledger's Joker and Jim Morrison.
A tie-in mobile game with the same name was released for iOS and Android devices. The game's primary objective is to fend off and attack gangsters and monsters and reclaim the powerful sword of Panday.
Coco Martin reserved a shooting in the last filming day for his scene with veteran actor Lito Lapid. The scene is basically a sword training scene located in top of a volcano.
Martin did not set a production budget limit for the film especially for the special effects. Some effects were bought in on Vietnam for editing while the others were finished on the Philippines.
Before tackling the role of Panday, Martin said that this has been his favorite dream roles from the past. He even added if there's Superman in the United States, then there's also Panday in the Philippines.
