Kochi: The teaser of Tovino's first pan-India film Ajayante Randam Moshanam (ARM) is out. The short video has offered a glimpse into a thrilling and intense story and performance.
The Jithin Laal directorial has a rustic vibe and is already winning hearts. Tovino is seen in a rugged avatar with long hair.
In the video, a little girl is asking her to tell the story of a thief named Maniyan and the grandmother says his stories are not suitable for nighttime. Tovino's character, Maniyan, is quickly introduced in the background of a troubled village. People are seen carrying fire torches around at night.
Tovino will be playing three characters - Ajayan, Maniyan, and Kunjikelu - over three different timelines - 1900, 1950, and 1990. "Set in northern Kerala, three generations of heroes, Maniyan, Kunjikelu, and Ajayan, try to protect the most important treasure of the land," said the description of the YouTube teaser.
It will be released in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi and English.
Hritik Rosha unveiled the Hindi version of the ARM teaser and wrote: "It's an honour to present the Hindi Teaser of #ARM, an ambitious cinematic experience being crafted by some of the most stellar minds of the Malayalam film industry. One story, Three timelines, here’s the #ARMTeaser."
The film's shooting wrapped up in March 2023 and Tovino wrote about it on Instagram. "An epic experience concludes. After 110 days of shooting, it's the end of my schedule for Ajayante Randaam Moshanam. @armthemovie "Epic" is surely not an understatement because for starters - it's a period movie genre; but more than that, the experience was indeed larger than life for me. It feels like I'm emerging from an era - transformed for the better."
"ARM was a story that had got us excited way back in 2017. And as often happens with dreams, it faced delays in taking off in the way it was meant to be. But here I am, signing off after a shoot that was fun, joyful, satisfying, demanding and above all, a continuous learning experience! While I learned a host of new skills from this movie - including Kalarippayatt and Horse riding, I also had to unlearn and learn many things about acting to embrace newer and better elements," he added.
The actor further said: "I'm enacting three distinct roles in ARM, so everything was multidimensional for me. And I was surrounded by many dear friends as cast and crew, which made life easier even during the most challenging schedules. I made a lot of memories and new friends, and strengthened many too. Another big takeaway from ARM is Kasargod - the absolute charm it held. Months of living here eased through the support of the people and many smiles that have become familiar now. Thank you, Kasargod for being a home. Bidding goodbye to the wonderful place and the amazing team - but I'll be back. The movie looks amazing, which means it's a waiting phase from now to see how you all enjoy it in theatres. Wishing the best to everyone. It's a dream. Hoping it becomes real."
