So I'm taking this opportunity to share something else that I wouldn't have imagined doing, a few years back. Dear all, presenting Tovino Thomas Productions. A humble effort to be part of more movies that matter and add further value to our industry. I'm hoping to make this big opportunity and responsibility count, and create movies that you will all love. Please keep the love and support coming... Nothing fuels me more… (sic).”
Tovino has earlier co-produced the film Kilometers and Kilometers, which premiered on television last Onam.

Other movies of Tovino include Kala, directed by Rohith VS, and Varav, to be made by Rakesh Mantodi. The teaser of Kala was released on his birthday, and showed glimpses of a film that’s full of action and has a little bit of romance. Tovino and Divya Pillai play the lead roles with a foreign breed canine in an important role. Tovino plays the role Shaji while Divya Pillai plays his wife Vidya. During the shooting of this film, Tovino had suffered abdominal injuries and was admitted to the hospital forcing him to go on a three-week rest to recover.
