Thalappavu was inspired by the encounter of Naxalite leader Varghese. The incident made news when ageing cop Ramachandran Nair announced that he had shot the revolutionary leader to death, at the behest of his superiors.

The story was told from the perspective of a cop called Ravindran Pillai, played by Lal. The memories of Joseph, whom he had shot, nagged him and tragically, he hit the bottle. His family soon deserted him.

Actor Madhupal made his directorial debut with this film.
