According to Beatrice Funke Ogunmola, the writer and producer of Love Castle film, she had had the concept of Love Castle film for almost a decade before she wrote the first draft of the script in 2018.

Kehinde Bankole describes the story as exciting in an interview she granted at the end of filming her role in Ibadan. “The route the movie producer went in telling this story is different. It’s entertaining; it’s rich in culture. I enjoyed every bit of the filming” she said.

The late Rachel Oniga, after reading the script, wrote in a WhatsApp message to Ogunmola “This is a wonderful story and well scripted. I am in love with it.” The movie was shot in Ibadan Nigeria in November 2019, and in Houston Texas USA, in February 2020, just two weeks before the pandemic lockdown of 2020 began.
