If we take a look at the top actors in Malayalam at present, the list will go to Dulquer, Nivin, Fahadh Fazil, etc. If we look at some more senior players, Asif Ali, Prithviraj and Kunchacko Boban will also come. All these stars started their film career as heroes. Tovinoyawatte started with a small role and after many years of effort, he became the lead in a movie. Tovinok can claim a proud journey in retrospect.
Tovino entered the Malayalam film world in 2012 with Prabhu’s Makkal. Tovino played the role of Che Guevara Sudhindran in the film starring Vinay Fort and Jijoy. Tovino also worked as an assistant director in Dulquer’s film Aadhaar, which was released in the same year.
In the early days, Tovino also tried to bring his face to the audience by acting in maximum films like any movie aspirant. While doing ABCD, Seventh Day and Ninte Ninte Moiteen, he was looking to make his foray into cinema. Actor Tovino’s range is noticed through the movie Guppy released in 2016. The film failed in the theater but later became a huge hit when it came to torrent.
His rise to stardom began with a Mexican extravaganza that gave Tovinok a solo theatrical hit. The success of Goda and Mayanadi cemented that position. Tovino was also making experimental films like The Wave at this time.
Tovino was challenged as an actor by a notorious boy. The films that came during this time like Thayvandi, Maradona and My Umman’s Name were in the safe zone. It was a good effort from Ajay Tovino’s part in Notorious Boy, but there were flaws.
At the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, Tovino appeared in films like Mari 2, Lucifer, Uare and Virus, although not as the lead. Later he went through success and failure.
In lockdown, Tovino shocked the audience with an experimental film called Kala. There was also applause for the film ‘Kanekane’.
This is followed by Minnal Murali. Acclaimed at pan Indian level, the film received international attention and bagged awards. Even after the film was such a huge success, Tovino went on a different path. Minnal Murali was followed by Tovino films Naradan, Vashi and Dear Friend. and are Of these, Narada and Dear Front were theatrical failures. The story changed when Dear Friend reached OTT. Dear Friend is a film that is likely to have new interpretations in many ways in the coming times.
After Minnal Murali, Tovino got similar offers even from Bollywood. But Tovino, who wanted to polish his inner actor, wanted to take a risk again. Tovino’s triumphant journey has finally reached its peak. The audience clapped after seeing the star’s performance in non-safe zone dance and fight.
Tovino is an artist who wants to bring out the actor in him. His efforts and hard work are behind this growth. Beyond that, his attitude towards people and the strong stand he takes at times of need sets Tovino apart.
