Tovino about promoting The Kerala Story 2
While promoting his film in Hyderabad, he was asked why he had not posted anything about The Kerala Story 2. Responding to this, Tovino explained, “Last time when I put out a post, when part one released, I realised that it also became a promotion for them. So I decided not to. So it went ignored. I don’t think anyone watched it in Kerala.”
