Tovino Thomas is on an all time high with a string of successful movies under his kitty. Riding high on the success, he is also grabbing some big offers. We had reported about his Tamil debut directed by cinematographer turned filmmaker B R Vijayalakshmi.

Latest development in the camp is the joining of ace cameraman/filmmaker Santhosh Sivan. He will be serving as an executive producer for the movie. He is quoted saying to Times Of India, “It’s based on an article in a newspaper and I found it very interesting. Plus, it’s got a corporate house backing the movie as well as Vijayalakshmi helming it, so I am glad to be part of the movie.”

Director BR Vijayalakshmi is noted for being Asia’s first woman cinematographer. She has worked in many popular films like Chinna Veedu, Mallu Vetti Minor, Kottai Vaasal, Decemeber 31 etc. She has also scripted the Malayalam movie Daddy, which had Arvind Swamy in the lead.

Tovino’s yet to be titled Tamil debut film is an unusual love story. It is said to be based on a true incident that happened in Brazil. Shoot for the movie has already commenced and the team have been shooting in various parts of Kerala and Chennai. Apart from Tovino, the movie also stars many other prominent supporting actors. It is expected to hit screens by June this year.

Meanwhile, his latest outing Godha is getting excellent reports from all the centres. The movie, directed by Basil Joseph is an out and out entertainer featuring Tovino, Punjabi actress Wamiqa Gabbi and Renji Panicker in the lead roles. Tovino’s upcoming movie with director Aashiq Abu went on floors last day in Madurai. National award winner Shyam Pushkaran and Dileesh Nair have jointly scripted this film titled as Maayanadhi.
