Tovino Thomas to star in Dr Biju’s next

Director Bijukumar Damodaran, popularly known as Dr Biju, is one of the most revered filmmakers in the Malayalam parallel cinema space. Almost all his films have been widely acclaimed, with some of them even garnering international acclaim. Tovino Thomas is planning to team up with Dr Biju for a new film.

Last day, the star had shared a casting call seeking actors who have physical resemblance to Vladimir Lenin, BR Ambedkar, Leo Tolstoy and Adolf Hitler. It is for Dr Biju’s new film which will have Tovino in the lead role. The director is planning a political film with a surrealistic storytelling pattern. Tovino will be playing the central character of a man who comes across Lenin, Ambedkar, Tolstoy and Hitler during a journey. Unlike Dr Biju’s previous films, this one is a big scale project. More details are expected to be out in the coming days.

Tovino Thomas already has his kitty full. After the Corona-crisis is over, he is expected to resume shooting for his superhero film ‘Minnal Murali’. ‘Ajayante Randaam Moshanam’, ‘Kala’, ‘Pallichattambi’, ‘Bhoomi’ and ‘563 St Charles Street’ are some of his other announced projects. His next to release will be the much-delayed ‘Kilometers and Kilometers’. The film is set for direct release on Hotstar + Disney.
