Nivin Pauly's Thuramukham has been one of the most delayed projects in Malayalam cinema in recent times. The film directed by Rajeev Ravi has seen multiple postpones in the release. The latest buzz suggests that the makers are eyeing to get the film out in theatres on March 9. An official announcement regarding the same is still awaited.

Thuramukham is a period film based on a tumultuous era in Kerala history. Scripted by Gopan Chidambaram, the film is set during the mid-1900s in the backdrop of workers' struggles and protests against corrupt bosses. It revolves around the infamous ‘Chappa’ system practised at Kochi's Mattancherry harbour, which involved casual labour allocation, and a primitive work guarantee scheme. Indrajith Sukumaran, Nimisha Sajayan, Joju George, Darshana Rajendran, Arjun Ashokan, Sudev Nair and Poornima Indrajith also star in the film.

Thuramukham, which initially saw delays in releases due to the pandemic and subsequent closing down of theatres, eventually got caught in producer Sukumar Thekkepat's financial troubles. It seems like they are finally sorting things out and planning to release the film at the earliest. Recently, Nivin had also revealed that Listin Stephen has picked up the film and that his banner Magic Films will be presenting it in Kerala.
