Thuramukam is based on a drama of the same title penned by KN Chidambaram. Rajeev Ravi decided to make a movie after watching the drama based on the Mattancherry shooting (1953).
It was initially produced jointly by Sukumar Thekkepat and Jose Thomas under Thekkepat Films and Queen Mary Productions. But now, it is taken over by Magic Frames owned by Listin Stephen.
“My co-actors explained to me the shooting incident at Mattancherry and also the social condition in the area during the 1950s” Actor Poornima Indrajith said.
