Tovino Thomas as a local superhero in Minnal Murali

We were among the first to report about Tovino Thomas teaming up with his ‘Godha’ director Basil Joseph for a superhero flick. The movie was official announced last day. Titled as ‘Minnal Murali’, the movie will have Tovino as a local superhero. Sophia Paul of Weekend Blockbusters is producing the movie. The movie demands extensive pre-production, following which only shoot will be commencing.

Basil Joseph is one of the most talented among the younger generation of filmmakers. He delivered back to back hits in ‘Kunjiramayanam’ and ‘Godha’. Though he had announced a big budget film with Mammootty and Tovino in the leads, the movie got shelved. Basil was also supposed to a film with Biju Menon, which has also been delayed.

Tovino meanwhile has multiple projects coming up. For the last few months, he has been building his physique for ‘Kalki’, which will be his his first proper mass entertainer. The movie directed by debutant Praveen Prabharam will have Tovino playing a cop. The actor is currently shooting for Manu Ashokan’s ‘Uyare’. Salim Ahamed’s ‘And The Oscar Goes To’, ‘Virus’ with Aashiq Abu, ‘Luca’ with Arun Bose and ‘Kilometers and Kilometers’ with Jeo Baby are his other upcoming films.
