After Veeram directed by “
Jayaraj
” that has
Kunal Kapoor
in the lead, another film with Kalaripayattu as a theme has been gearing up. The film will have
Tovino Thomas
in the lead role. The film titled as Chengazhi Nambiyar will be directed by
Sidhil Subramanian
. In the film, Tovino will be seen as Puthumanad Panikkar, an associate to Chengazhi Nambiyar. It is heard that a popular Kalari master has been roped in to train the actors in Kalaripayatu, which is the theme of the film. To make it real, Tovino will join Kalari training. He also informs that the film will be a budget movie. Tovino had already worked in a fight film, “
Godha
.” To play in the film, Tovino had learnt a few martial arts, besides learning Gusthi. The project will start rolling in 2018 and the director wants to make it as Malayalam – Hindi bilingual. We hope Tovino will become an action hero in the future!
