Shine Tom Chacko has also been roped in for a significant role.Tovino essays the role of Wazim in the film. Speaking about the experience, Tovino wrote in an Instagram post, "While I truly enjoy getting into characters that demand a very poised, graceful and sometimes even gritty body language, there is something extremely liberating about doing movies where you get to go all out and just have a lot of fun. Wazim is all that and so much more! I remember thinking years back that there are a few things I just can't see myself doing but, when a character demands it, like in this one, you step up and show up!”
He also added that he is grateful to his team for supporting him."Especially when you have a rock solid team backing you up and giving you confidence to explore and grow as an artist.Sit back, relax and get ready to go on a roller coaster ride with 'Thallumaala' soon. Till then, continue grooving to the killer track you guys seem to be having a blast with!"
