Tovino to play a triple role in a multi-genre film

If 2019 was about Tovino Thomas proving he can handle any role with ease, 2020 seems to be about him showing that he belongs in the big league. The actor, who is currently busy with the superhero film Minnal Murali, has signed another big-budget entertainer titled

Ajayante Randam Moshanam

that will have him in a triple role.

The movie’s director Jithin Lal, who has worked as the chief associate director of films such as

Godha

, Kalki and Ennu Ninte Moideen, tells us, “The movie has portions set in 1900, 1950 and 1990.

Tovino

plays characters named Maniyan, Kunjikelu and Ajayan, respectively, in these three generations. The main storyline though will be set in the 90s.”

Ask him if it’s an adventure-fantasy and Jithin says, “It has multiple genres. But at its core, it’s an entertainer. The movie would remind the audience of the stories that they have read in Malayalam comic magazines.”

Jithin, who had recently helmed a trilingual music video titled Pragathi featuring Wamiqa Gabbi, Lena and Nyla Usha, also informs us that the work on the script and its pre-production has been on for two years now. Sujith Nambiar has penned the screenplay while Dhibu Ninan Thomas, who composed for the Tamil movie Kanaa, will handle the music department.
“We are now in the process of finalising the cast. As it’s a big project, there is some more work to be done before we can start shooting. We expect the movie to go on floors by mid 2020,” says the filmmaker.

The team has zeroed in on Kannur, Kasaragod and Wayanad as the main locations for Ajayante Randam Moshanam. Like Tovino-Basil Joseph team’s Minnal Murali, this film too is set to be dubbed and released in several languages apart from Malayalam.
