Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas has suffered a serious injury while shooting an action scene for his upcoming film Kala. As per television reports, he has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a private hospital in Kochi.

As per a report, Tovino experienced internal bleeding after suffering an injury to his stomach while shooting for an action sequence. After he complained of severe pain, he was rushed to the hospital where he was shifted to the ICU.

The report added that Tovino has to be kept under observation for 24 hours in the ICU.

Best known for his work in films such as Godha (2017), Maari 2 (2018) and Abhiyum Anuvum (2018), Tovino was last seen on screen in Malayalam film Forensic.

His upcoming release will be the superhero Malayalam film, Minnal Murali. The film’s teaser was released recently and it received unanimous appreciation from all quarters.

In May, Tovino lashed out at ‘religious fanatics’ a day after they destroyed a church set that was erected for the shooting of Minnal Murali.

Members of Antharashtra Hindu Parishad (AHP) and Bajrang Dal had demolished the set as it was close to the Adi Sankaracharya Mutt in Kalady, Ernakulum. They had even claimed responsibility for the vandalism via a social media post. 

Tovino took to Facebook to share a long post on the incident and slammed the 'fanatics'. 

Minnal Murali’s first schedule at Wayanad had been in progress when the set for the second schedule began construction...
