Minnal Murali actor Tovino Thomas is NOT willing to do Bollywood films, yet; here is why

Tovino Thomas is a known name in Malayalam cinema. He is enjoying his popularity, especially after the release of ‘Minnal Murali’ where he plays a superhero. The film is the biggest project of this young actor’s life, so far. 

Fan of superhero films himself, Tovino Thomas wanted to become a superhero while growing up. However, as he grew older, he realized that it only happens in movies. And years later, the childhood dream came true with ‘Minnal Murali’. Speaking of how he feels about it, Tovino says that he felt proud when he came to Mumbai to try the superhero costume for his film for the first time. As much as he loved wearing the costume, he said that it was not comfortable to shoot in one, adding that it is not as much fun (shooting in a superhero costume) as it may seem otherwise.

Moving forward, in an interview, Tovino Thomas was asked since a lot of actors from down South have also been doing Bollywood films, would he be interested in one or whether he has already been offered one. To this, Thomas said that though he is a fan of Bollywood movies, he wants to continue his career in the Malayalam industry.

He reportedly said that he does not want to do a Bollywood movie just for the sake of doing it unless a role is offered to him that demands his presence. Instead, he would continue to make Malayalam movies as he hopes to grow with the industry, and at the same time believes that he will be able to attract audiences to Malayalam films.
