Tovino Thomas's upcoming Avaran brings him together with debutant director Shilpa Alexander. The film sits within a slate stretching across fantasy, romance and larger commercial projects: he has just wrapped the romantic fantasy Munpe, and also has Muhsin Parari's Gracias El Clasico opposite Nazriya Nazim, a film with Guppy director Johnpaul George and Vysakh's Khalifa 2: The Legacy ahead.

With further details still limited, the strongest angle is the established actor's collaboration with a filmmaker making her feature debut.
