Kerala is gearing up to celebrate Vishu next week, and ahead of the festive weekend, the Malayalam film industry is all set to release a lineup of exciting films. One of the much-anticipated releases is Khalid Rahman’s Alappuzha Gymkhana, featuring Naslen, Ganapathi, Lukman, and others in leading roles.

The film tells the story of a group of Plus-2 students who participate in a state-level boxing competition to secure college admission. The movie's trailer has already attracted attention, even beyond the state.

Recently, as part of the promotion, the Alappuzha Gymkhana team attended an event in Tamil Nadu, where a video of Naslin speaking about the film went viral on social media. In the video, Naslin is seen interacting with the audience about the film and the director.

The conversation took an amusing turn when Naslin said he didn't know Telugu. When Naslen was asked in Tamil if there was a Telugu audience, he responded, "Ellavarumé namma aalukal thaan," adding with a smile.

The exchange ended with Naslin shouting "Jai Balayya" as a tribute, which was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience. This video has since gained widespread attention across social media platforms.

‘Alappuzha Gymkhana,’ which is set to hit cinemas globally on April 10, stars Naslen in the lead role. The film marks a return to comedy for director Khalid Rahman and is jointly scripted by him and Sreeni Saseendran. The dialogues have been penned by Ratheesh Ravi, best known for ‘Ishq.’

Backed by Plan B Motion Pictures in association with Realistic Studios, the film is produced by Khalid Rahman, Jobin George, Sameer Karat and Subeesh Kannanchery.

The ensemble cast features Lukman Avaran, Ganapathi, Sandeep Pradeep, Kottayam Nazeer, Franco Francis, rapper Baby Jean, Shiva Hariharan, Shon Joy, Karthik, Nanda Nishant and Noila Francy.

On the technical front, ‘Alappuzha Gymkhana’ brings together the blockbuster ‘Thallumaala’ team of cinematographer Jimshi Khalid, late editor Nishadh Yusuf and music composer Vishnu Vijay.
