Malayalam film actor Tovino Thomas has lashed out at religious fanatics for destroying the sets of his upcoming superhero film Minnal Murali. On Sunday, a few members of the Antharashtra Hindu Parishad (AHP) and Bajrang Dal demolished the set. Reportedly, the reason for destroying the set was because it was close to Adi Sankaracharya mutt in Kalady, Ernakulam. The group even claimed responsibility for the act through a social media post.

Hours after the incident, on Monday, lead actor Tovino Thomas took to his social media handles to share a long post on the incident. “Minnal Murali’s first schedule at Wayanad had been in progress when the set for the second schedule began construction at Kalady. It was carried out by art director Manu Jagad and team, under special instructions by stunt choreographer Vlad Rimburg.” he wrote.
He said that they had taken proper permission from the concerned authorities. “And as we were about to start shooting in this set – which was built on a considerable cost, the whole country went into lockdown, following which our shoot was paused, just like all others. It is during this prevailing uncertainty that this contractual set was destroyed by a group of racialists yesterday. The reasons they cite for this unceremonious act are not understood to our senses till now. We’ve heard of movie sets being vandalized by religious fanatics in Northern parts of India. Now, it’s happening to us right here.”
