Tovino Thomas shares audience’s emotional response to Narivetta


Narivetta is the latest Malayalam-language action drama film based on the 2003 Muthanga incident. The real-life protest, which was headed by the Adivasis under the Adivasi Gothra Maha Sabha (AGMS), was against the government’s delay in allotting them land, which had been contracted to them in 2001.

During the incident, the police had opened fire 18 rounds, escalating the situation and resulting in two immediate fatalities, including a police officer.

The movie features Tovino Thomas in the lead role, alongside an ensemble cast that includes Suraj Venjaramoodu, Cheran (in his Malayalam debut), Arya Salim, Priyamvada Krishnan, and many more in key roles. As the film makes its run, the audiences have immense praise for the lead actor.

Talking about the movie, Narivetta has got caught in controversy after Unni Mukundan’s manager, Vipin Kumar, alleged the actor assaulted him after the latter made positive comments on the Tovino Thomas starrer.
