Dulquer Salmaan’s much-anticipated movie ‘Kurup’ hit the theatres on November 12. Inspired by the real-life incident, Kurup is the story of the eluding criminal Sukumara Kurup who falsified his own death to claim the insurance money and has been in hiding ever since.
Tovino played the role of Chacko, a look-alike of Kurup. Taking it to Instagram, Dulquer wrote,”@tovinothomas The mother of all Cameos. When one of our biggest stars/talents tells the director he wants to play the role of Charlie it gives me the kind of joy that I can’t describe. We are a small industry and when we come together and support each other we become a force. Tovi you were an absolute delight in Kurup. The way you played your role took our collective breaths away. It had innocence and hope and vulnerability. And the way you looked your part it took many viewers a second glance to recognise you.”
He further added, “We have not mentioned you in a single promo or poster because we wanted to keep you as our biggest surprise. And you have been such a gentleman through all of it. For all of this and for being a friend and being the same from the time we met. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. We at @dqswayfarerfilms thank you for being a part of us. We are all rooting for you always. Let Minnal be as thunderous as it is Lightning. Love always.”
Blown by DQ’s sweet gesture, Tovino replied, “My brother @dqsalman, To play one of the most pivotal roles like Charlie, in Kurup’s tale was an honour and felt absolutely surreal and satisfying ! Super happy for you, the entire team and @dqswayfarerfilms for the smashing success of Kurup. The numbers definitely indicate how it has helped to bring back the audience to theatres. Thank you for having me on board to play this character, for these sweet words and also for bringing back the movies! Wishing bigger success to all the charm n swag you have brought about in the film. Thank you, brother.”
DQ also made a similar post for Anupama Parmeshwaran who played Charlie’s wife. He wrote, “KD you are family to Wayfarer Films. From our first film, you were a huge part of our beginning. When we were still learning and messing up you were patient and kind. You went as far as to stay back and work as an AD because you loved the team so much.”
