Thuramukham is an adaptation of a play of the same name, which was originally written by KN Chidambaram. Just like the play, the movie will revolve around the famous protests against the Chappa system that existed in the coastal areas of Cochin during the 1950s. Chappa was a feudal system that was used as a method for the distribution of work, according to which copper coins were thrown at the workers waiting for work. The ones who managed to grab the coins were guaranteed the job.

Nivin will be seen as Moidu, a Mattanchery-based port labourer in the film. The teaser does give a glimpse of the chaotic system and the struggles and humiliation the laborers undergo due to this.
