He also revealed that it would be produced by the famous production company UTV Motion Pictures. The film was known to be the sequel of Happy Husbands but the director said himself this is not a sequel but a similar fun-filled film. It had been announced that the film will be produced by UTV Motion Pictures because of the production company wanted to expand and produce a second well made film in Malayalam after Grandmaster.

Casting

The director had announced that Jayasurya, Indrajith and Asif Ali will be the official confirmed cast. Biju Menon was originally chosen to play Lal role, but couldn't because date-clash. Also Bhavana, and Samvritha Sunil were announced to be part of the cast, but could not do so because of date-clash. Then they had later decided to cast Bhama, Rima Kallingal, Remya Nambeesan and Praveena to play the wives. Newcomer Leena Maria and Sarayu were chosen to play the girls that distract the husbands.

But added that "The film evokes hilarity, but the humour fails to generate the rip-roaring laugh one associates with a comedy." Kerala Films welcomed the movie giving 2.5 stars out of 5 and said "Husbands in Goa really deserves a one time watch, especially for the exceptional lead performances, great comedy scenes, racy direction, and the song 'Pichakal poomkavukal'." Critics have noted actor Jayasurya's performance to be the best, also stating he is the show stealer in the film because of him having perfect comic timing and getting many positive replies from audiences. However, the film also got some negative reviews from the critics. Sify gave a negative review and gave 2 stars out of 5 and added "You need real skills to find humour in 'Husbands in Goa'. Go for this one, if you are ready to take such pains."
