Tovino Thomas to play superhero in Netflix film ‘Minnal Murali’

Tovino Thomas will be seen playing a superhero in the upcoming Malayalam Netflix film ‘Minnal Murali’. The actor says he has been attached and committed to the character of Minnal Murali from the very beginning.
Tovino said: “I’ve been attached and committed to the character of Minnal Murali from the very beginning. I spent all my time communicating with my director to ensure the best possible outcome and immense amounts of work went into creating ‘Minnal Murali’.”
He said that he learnt a lot and is grateful that during these strange times, people can still appreciate cinema from the comfort of their homes through Netflix.
Tovino said: “I hope everyone who watches the film loves ‘Minnal Murali’ just as much as I do.”
‘Minnal Murali’ is produced by Weekend Blockbusters (Sophia Paul) and the film is directed by Basil Joseph.
Tovino will star as the superhero ‘Minnal Murali’, which is a story of an ordinary man-turned-superhero Murali, who is struck by a bolt of lightning, which bestows him with special powers.
Director Basil Joseph said: “We wanted to create a superhero that people could relate to and connect with on an emotional level. Though the essence of a superhero movie is the action, our genuine efforts were focused on having a strong narrative that could stand on its own while backing the action.”
The film also stars Guru Somasundaram, Harisree Ashokan and Aju Varghese in pivotal roles. Giving fans the chance to meet their new favourite superhero, the film will premiere with dubs in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi and English.
Talking about the production of the film Sophia Paul from Weekend Blockbusters said, “As a producer, this was my most challenging yet gratifying experience. I am proud of this journey. We brought together the best team of actors, technicians and platforms for the rise of this ‘local’ superhero – Minnal Murali.
“This superhero movie transcends languages, as at the core, it’s a human story of emotions and circumstances. I am thrilled and proud of Minnal Murali.”
Pratiksha Rao, Director, Films and Licensing, Netflix India added: “Malayalam cinema has gripped the audiences with innovative storytelling and incredible filmmaking craft.”

‘What A Shame’: Janhvi Kapoor Reacts To Kalyan Clinic Assault Case, Says Man Should Be Jailed For Thrashing Receptionist

Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor reacted to the Kalyan clinic assault case and said the man should be in jail for thrashing the female receptionist. For those unversed, a video has gone viral which shows a man, identified as Gopal Jha, punching the receptionist, dragging her by the hair, and repeatedly assaulting her at Shree Bal Chikitsalaya, a paediatrics hospital, in Kalyan East on July 21.
Janhvi says the man should be jailed
Reacting to the incident, Janhvi took to her Instagram story on Thursday (July 24) and wrote, “This man needs to be in jail. Why does anyone think this behaviour is ok? What makes him think he can raise his hand at someone like this? What kind of upbringing convinces you to go through with these actions without any remorse, guilt or sense of humanity?”
“How do you live with yourself after knowing this is how your brain operates? What a shame. And shame on us for not punishing and condoning such behaviour more aggressively. Nothing excuses this,” the actress added.
However, on Wednesday, a new video surfaced on social media which shows that it was the receptionist who first slapped a woman and then charged at Gopal Jha. Reportedly, the woman she slapped is Jha’s sister-in-law.
The attack occurred after the receptionist denied Jha entry to see the doctor, who was attending another patient at the time.
The receptionist reportedly sustained serious injuries on her neck, legs, and chest, with concerns that she may suffer from partial paralysis due to the extent of the trauma. She has been admitted to Janaki Hospital.
Janhvi Kapoor’s work front
Meanwhile, on the work front, Janhvi is gearing up for the release of Param Sundari with Sidharth Malhotra. Directed by Tushar Jalota and produced by Dinesh Vijan, the romantic drama will release in theatres. However, its release day is not confirmed yet.
Janhvi also has films like Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, alongside Varun Dhawan, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul, and Akshay Oberoi, and Peddi with Ram Charan in the pipeline.

Also, in a shocking twist, the audience will nominate housemates for eviction this year and not the contestants themselves. However, the contestants will then fight to save themselves from the evictions.

Fish Venkat Death: Telugu Actor Passes Away At 53 Due To Kidney Disease

Telugu actor and comedian Fish Venkat passed away on Friday, July 18, 2025, at the age of 53. Reportedly, he was suffering from kidney disease and breathed his last at a hospital in Hyderabad. Fish Venkat, whose real name was Venkat Raj, was admitted to the hospital after he suffered kidney failure, and the actor was in the ICU in need of a kidney transplant.
A few days ago, Venkat’s daughter, Sravanthi, had told One India that the treatment of his father would cost Rs. 50 lakh, and Prabhas’ team had offered them financial support. She had stated, “Daddy isn’t well at all. He is very serious and in the ICU. He needs a kidney transplant. It will cost us at least ₹50 lakh. Prabhas’ assistant called us and offered financial assistance. They asked us to inform them when his transplant happens to cover the cost.”
However, later a family member of the actor had spoken to Suman TV and revealed that the call was fake and they didn’t receive any help from Prabhas. The family member said, “Actually, nothing like that happened. We have been answering every call we get to see if anyone can help us. Some unknown person called us pretending to be Prabhas Anna’s assistant. We found out after that it was a fake call. He doesn’t even know something like this is happening. We have not received any financial help yet.”
Who Was Fish Venkat?
The actor was born in Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh. He started his career with the 2000 release Sammakka Sarakka and was known for his amazing comic timing.
