Jayachandran, while C. Rajamani provided the background score.[2]
The film's storyline revolves around two men: Tomy Eeppan Devassy and Sreekumar. Sreekumar, a character who does all the domestic work. Into this peaceful world enters Tomy disrupting the domestic bliss and bringing out an unexpected twist. With his arrival everything goes haywire in Sreekumar's life and he reaches a position where he can no longer be with his family. The film unravels the mysterious past of both the characters finding the cause behind their unusual demeanor.
The film marks the comeback of Suresh Gopi after a hiatus of two years. He plays the role of a typical Nasrani from Pala, Kottayam.[3]
The songs were composed by M. Jayachandran, with lyrics by Rafeeq Ahmed. The background score was composed by C. Rajamani.
Salaam Kashmier was released in theatres on 13 February 2014. The film was originally scheduled for release on 25 November 2013, but it was postponed due to a delay in obtaining a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Indian Army. It is common practice for films with military themes to secure an NOC after being reviewed by military intelligence officers.[4]
