Mollywood actor Tovino Thomas created a ripple on Instagram after he shared post-workout images of himself and his father Illikkal Thomas, with the caption "workout partner". "My dad. Guide. Advisor. Motivator. Decision maker. And workout partner. The extra muscle on his left upper chest is a pacemaker fixed in 2016, but since then he has been into fitness more than ever," he wrote. The Forensic actor is a fitness enthusiast and regularly shares images on the social media site.
Other celebrities like Kunchako Boban, Joju George, Vijay Yesudas and Prithviraj congratulated the duo in the comments.
Thomas’s Kilometres and Kilometres premiered on Disney + Hotstar on August 20. The Tovino-starrer was the second Malayalam film to have direct OTT release in the wake of the pandemic. The first film to skip theatrical release was Sufiyum Sujathayum, starring Jayasurya, Dev Mohan and Aditi Rao Hydari. The movie, directed by debutant Jeo Baby, was supposed to hit the theatres on March 12. But the release was postponed indefinitely amid the pandemic.
Kilometres and Kilometres revolves around the unique bond between Cathy, an American tourist, and Josemon, a Malayali youth who serves as her guide. The title of the film refers to a popular dialogue from the 1986 classic film Mazha Peyyunnu Maddalam Kottunnu starring Mohanlal. Besides Tovino, the film features Joju George, India Jarvis and Basil Joseph among others.
