Oru Mexican Aparatha producer Anoop Kannan stands for Tovino Thomas
Tovino Thomas, over the past week has been criticised by social media users after videos of two seperate incidents showing the actor shouting at his fans, went viral. The incidents occurred when the actor was visiting various theatres across the State as part of the promotions for his latest movie Oru Mexican Aparatha.
Apparently, Tovino was pinched by someone from the crowd which infuriated him. Netizens alleged that Tovino has become arrogant after the success of his movie. A series of trolls were also directed at the actor which finally forced him to apologize through his official Facebook page.
The producer of Oru Mexican Aparatha, Anoop Kannan recently updated a status in his social media page defending Tovino Thomas. In his post, he has said that celebrities are also humans who react normally like how others do.
Some of the excerpts from his post reads,
“Tovino is very much aware that the major reason for our movie’s success in the audience support and that’s why he reached out to the people without resting in the comfort of a hotel room. He walked over two kilometers under scorching sun in Kannur just to thank his fans. Just like a normal human being, he showed his emotions when he was hurt. He is a very alert person who raises his voice against anything he feels is not right, be it a social issue or even while acting. That’s why he reacted and soon the whole issue was blown out of proportion. Publishing such negative reports against a budding young actor is certainly a kind of cruelty.”
Support has been flowing in for Tovino from his friends from within the industry, like Guppy director John Paul George and Roopesh Peethambaran. A section of social media users have also supported the actor in the issue.
