Tovino Thomas reveals why a Telugu multi-starrer is unlikely: 'It could affect my Malayalam career’

Tovino Thomas is currently busy promoting his much-anticipated period action film ‘Ajayante Randam Moshanam’ (ARM), directed by the debutant Jithin Lal. The film, set to make a big impact in the Malayalam film industry, is also being released in Telugu. During a pre-release event for the Telugu version in Hyderabad, Tovino addressed the possibility of starring in a Telugu multi-starrer film, a popular format in the industry.When asked about his plans to do a Telugu multi-starrer, Tovino candidly explained why it's unlikely for him. “In Telugu cinema, it's really difficult to make a multi-starrer happen because everyone is tied up with their own projects. Everyone's schedule is packed. As for me, I can’t be part of a Telugu multi-starrer because if I commit to one, it would affect 4-5 of my Malayalam films. If I were to do a Telugu multi-starrer, it could very well end my Malayalam career since all my ongoing projects would suffer.”Tovino further elaborated on his strong connection to the Malayalam film industry, stating that he feels a deep sense of responsibility toward the industry that has brought him fame and success. He emphasized that his priority is to continue contributing to Malayalam cinema, which remains his primary focus.However, the actor did hint at a future project in Telugu cinema, mentioning that he is in discussions for a film in the language. But before taking on such a project, he wants to ensure he has a good command of the Telugu language.
