Minnal Murali: SS Rajamouli lauds Tovino’s latest hit at RRR event

Tovino Thomas’s latest superhero outing on Netflix “Minnal Murali” is receiving rave reviews from the audience and critics alike. Director SS Rajamouli who is known to make larger than life movies like Eega, Bahubali and now RRR, has praised Minnal Murali and congratulated Tovino Thomas for scoring a hit with the film.

Rajamouli also expressed his gratitude to Tovino Thomas for appearing at the RRR promotional event and said, “Minnal Murali is indeed a great film. Everyone here has always wished that we should have a superhero of our own, and it’s evident, we have a superhit superhero now.” With Tovino being a diverse actor, Jr. NTR stated how he is in love with this quality.

Adding to that, Jr. NTR who was also present at the press event lauded the actor by saying, “Tovino is like my brother. I watched his recent film ‘Minnal Murali’. He is a wonderful actor,”

Looking back at Rajamouli’s superhit film Eega which was one of the first breakout cross over films from Telugu Cinema, much before Baahubali became a massive phenomenon. Minnal Murali is setting the bar for Malayalam Cinema and one can’t help but draw parallels. The movie narrates the story of an ordinary man Jaison from a small town and how he becomes the superhero Minnal Murali and talks about how this event changes his life.

Produced by Weekend Blockbusters (Sophia Paul) and directed by Basil Joseph, Tovino Thomas plays the titular role of Minnal Murali alongside Guru Somasundaram, Harisree Ashokan, and Aju Varghese. The film premiered on 24th December on Netflix.
