Tovino Thomas suffers critical injuries on the sets of Kala; admitted to ICU

One of Malayalam cinema’s most popular actors, Tovino Thomas, has suffered an injury so serious that he had to be rushed to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a private hospital in Kochi, Kerala, soon after. The mishap happened while he was shooting for an action scene for his upcoming film, Kala, and suffered a critical injury to his stomach, resulting in severe abdominal pain. According to a report by Mathrubhumi, it has discovered that the injury resulted in internal bleeding for Tovino Thomas.

As per another report in The News Minute, Tovino is being kept under stringent observation for the next 24 hours in the ICU, and no word has arrived yet on whether his condition is stabilising.

Earlier this year in May, Tovino Thomas had lashed out at religious zealots belonging to the Antharashtra Hindu Parishad (AHP) and Bajrang Dal, who had destroyed the set of his next release, the superhero movie, Minnal Murali. “Minnal Murali’s first schedule at Wayanad had been in progress when the set for the second schedule began construction at Kalady. It was carried out by art director Manu Jagad and team, under special instructions by stunt choreographer Vlad Rimburg. And as we were about to start shooting in this set – which was built on a considerable cost, the whole country went into lockdown, following which our shoot was paused, just like all others,” he had written in a lengthy Facebook post.

“It is during this prevailing uncertainty that this contractual set was destroyed by a group of racialists yesterday. The reasons they cite for this unceremonious act are not understood to our senses till now. We’ve heard of movie sets being vandalized by religious fanatics in Northern parts of India. Now, it’s happening to us right here,” added the Forensi actor.

We hope that Tovino Thomas has a complete and speedy recovery.
