Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas is all set to gear up for his 50th film release this Onam. The festive season will see him in not one but three distinct roles in the Malayalam film ARM (Ajayante Randam Moshanam). The film, he says was not his 50th shoot but took time for release due to immense post-production work. An ambitious period drama, ARM starts in the 17th century in Northern Kerala and takes us to the 1990s tracing the life of one family. Helmed by debutant Jithiin Laal, Tovino tells mid-day.com in an interview that the film is a dream carried by the director and writer Sujith Nambiar since 2016. He hopped on this dream boat in 2017.
ARM is now ready to hit the theatres on September 12, 2024. Talking to us he reflected on his 50 film career which took him a little over a decade to achieve. An outsider in the industry, Tovino began his career with small roles until his work started getting noticed with films like `Koothara`, `Godha`, `Guppy` among others. The actor who is among the prominent male lead actors in Malayalam cinema never shies away from being part of experimental films whether it is the stylish action film `Thallumaala` or his superhero act with `Minnal Murali`, the actor has embraced all and every role he believes in. In the process, he has had his fair share of ups and downs.
