Mumbai, Sep 6 (SocialNews.XYZ) Tovino Thomas will be seen playing a superhero in the upcoming Malayalam Netflix film 'Minnal Murali'. The actor says he has been attached and committed to the character of Minnal Murali from the very beginning.
Tovino said: "I've been attached and committed to the character of Minnal Murali from the very beginning. I spent all my time communicating with my director to ensure the best possible outcome and immense amounts of work went into creating 'Minnal Murali'."
He said that he learnt a lot and is grateful that during these strange times, people can still appreciate cinema from the comfort of their homes through Netflix.
Tovino said: "I hope everyone who watches the film loves 'Minnal Murali' just as much as I do."
'Minnal Murali' is produced by Weekend Blockbusters (Sophia Paul) and the film is directed by Basil Joseph.
Tovino will star as the superhero 'Minnal Murali', which is a story of an ordinary man-turned-superhero Murali, who is struck by a bolt of lightning, which bestows him with special powers.
Director Basil Joseph said: "We wanted to create a superhero that people could relate to and connect with on an emotional level. Though the essence of a superhero movie is the action, our genuine efforts were focused on having a strong narrative that could stand on its own while backing the action."
