Gold was initially all set for a worldwide theatrical release during Onam in September 2022 but was deferred due to delays in post production. In addition to writing, editing, and directing the film, Puthren also worked on the stunt choreography, visual effects, color grading, and animation titles of the film. It marks his return to direction after seven long years since his 2015 mega blockbuster coming of age romantic film Premam.
The story of Gold is touted to unravel the incidents that take place within four days of Joshi, a mobile shop owner who purchases a new car owing to a marriage alliance that is almost fixed with a girl called Radha. The shooting of the film wrapped all the way back on June 14 and has been awaiting release since then. The music of Gold is composed by Puthren's regular composer Rajesh Murugesan while also marking his first collaboration with Prithviraj. All the lyrics are written by Shabareesh Varma. The digital rights of the film are bagged by Amazon Prime Video.
