Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas, who was admitted to a private hospital in Kochi last week after being injured while shooting for an action sequence for his upcoming Malayalam film Kala, was discharged last night.
Tovino took to social media to share a heartfelt post and also promised to take better care of himself.
Tovino suffered a stomach injury while shooting for an action sequence. After complaining of severe pain, he was rushed to the Renai Medicity Multi Super Specialty Hospital in Kochi where he was shifted to the ICU with internal bleeding. He remained in the ICU for 48 hours.
After being discharged yesterday, Tovino was welcomed by his family with a special card designed by his children. He shared the card with his post.
Tovino took to Instagram and wrote: "A big HELLO from home! I got discharged and am fine at home now. Thanks and love for all your wishes and concern in the last few days. The doctors and hospital staff took great care of me. A big thanks to them. Also thanks to everyone who supported me — colleagues, family, friends, cinema lovers and everyone who showed their care (sic)."
Tovino added, "I really felt positive seeing your messages and calls. The incident hopefully makes me take better care of myself. Hoping to get back to work soon and keep entertaining you with good movies. Till then I'll rest and enjoy your love. Big thanks and lots of love. It was a bigger realisation of how much love I was being given. Duly noted! (sic)."
Kala is being directed by VS Rohit. The shooting has been halted following the accident and will resume only when Tovino is back on the set.
Last seen on screen in the Malayalam film Forensic (2020), Tovino is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming Malayalam superhero film, Minnal Murali. The film’s teaser was released recently to great appreciation from all quarters.
