Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic in the country and all over the world, the Government of India has advised to temporarily stop all the film and TV serial shootings. Meanwhile, a few films that were waiting to release in the theatres have opted to release in OTT platforms.
Tovino Thomas who is among the rising stars of Malayalam cinema had played the antagonist in Dhanush’s Maari 2. The actor recently took to Twitter to announce that Kala, one of his latest, which released during March in theatres, will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Kala was considered to be a bold attempt in Mollywood considering the violence involved on screen with the makers refusing to tone it down despite running the risk of limiting the audience owing to the ‘A’ certificate.
The film revolves around a man and his relationship with his pet dog and also casts Lal, Divya Pillai and Sumesh Moor amongst others in supporting roles. Kala is written and directed by Rohith V. S and opened to a mixed response.
Meanwhile, the film all of a sudden was removed from Amazon Prime and now, Tovino has revealed the reason. He wrote, “Extremely grateful for all the love and messages that came my way when Kala streaming got interrupted due to technical difficulties. We are back now! Thank you for your patience, love and constant support. Sending big virtual hugs!”
