NTR Fans Happy With Tovino Exit: Here’s Why!

Malayalam hero Tovino Thomas, popular for his films like Thallu Mallu and Minnal Murali in the Telugu arena as well, was earlier rumoured to be part of Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel’s much-anticipated action-thriller, Dragon. The update created curiosity, but now Tovino himself has confirmed that he is no longer doing the film due to date issues. At the same time, an interesting reaction is coming from fans. Many NTR fans seem to be quite happy with this development, even though Tovino is a proven performer.

Other day, Tovino revealed that he can’t give bulk dates of a year to Telugu films as nearly 3-4 of his Malayalam movies will be under a soup, just in case he signs a big Telugu project. Of course, that explains the fact that Dragon will take ages to shoot, and Tovino can’t stay on this project for such a long time. So why are NTR’s fans happy with this? Actually, fans are expecting a much more intense villain opposite NTR in a Prashanth Neel film. If you look at Neel’s previous films, strong antagonists played a big role in elevating the hero. Naturally, fans now want someone with a heavier screen presence and could bring lot of drama to the gritty film.

On one side, Tovino is a very good actor with solid performances in Malayalam cinema. On the other hand, some fans feel he may not bring the kind of intensity needed for a high-voltage action film like this. They want names like Prithviraj Sukumaran, who is known for his intense performances and powerful roles. For now, Tovino’s exit has opened up a new discussion around casting. We have to see who finally comes on board to take up this crucial role, who can match NTR’s energy!
