Earlier in an itnerviwe with the Cue Studio, Thallumaala director had said that Alappuzha Gymkhana’s plot revolves around a bunch of youngsters who seek to compete in state-level sports competition after failing the plus-two exams.

Despite having a background of boxing, Khalid said that it is a light-hearted movie with no blood-shedding violence, unlike the recent violent actioners such as Marco.
