'Minnal Murali will be the biggest movie of my career'- Tovino Thomas

In a recent interview with ANI, Tovino Thomas expressed his feelings about the upcoming superhero movie. The actor said, "Minnal Murali will be the biggest movie of my career considering the scale of the movie and the budget involved. That budget was essential to making this movie because, for a movie that's two hours and a few minutes long, we shot for 110 days and packed up on the 111th day. So if we have shot for 110 days, one can understand how much content would be there." Coming to his character from the movie, he added, "Getting a team that was 100% committed to bringing out the best from what we had on paper, was one of the biggest blessings we had."
