Manjummel Boys is based on true events

The movie is actually inspired by a young man who fell in the Guna Caves, which are also known as Devil’s Kitchen, in Kodaikanal. Over the years, several tourists have lost their lives after falling into the cave. The cave also served as inspiration for Kamal Haasan’s 1991 hit film Gunaa. 

According to director Chidambaram, Manjummel Boys is not a comedy drama like his other film, Jan.E.Man. This is a survival drama that is about friendship. Manjummel Boys also stars Arun Kurian, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Khalid Rahman, Chandu Salimkumar and Deepak Parambol in supporting roles, and was shot in under 101 days.
