Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Charmy Kaur learned basic Malayalam phonetically for this role, her second Malayalam film after a decade in Telugu cinema.
The film's title 'Thappana' (slapstick) directly references its comedy style, rare in Malayalam cinema where such films are usually labeled 'masala' or 'family' instead.
