Tovino Thomas, Rahul Madhav’s campus movie Naam now streaming on Amazon Prime Video

The pandemic and restrictions mean that there’s a dearth of campus movies across languages. To somewhat make up for that, Malayali audiences can now stream Joshy Thomas Pallickal’s Naam on Amazon Prime Video. 

The movie, which is directed by Joshy Thomas Pallickal and has Rahul Madhav, Shabareesh Varma, Tony Luke, Aditi Ravi, Gayathri Suresh and Renji Panicker as part of the cast, released in theatres in 2018. It is also streaming on Manorama Max

Naam, which also has Tovino Thomas in an extended cameo, revolves around a group of youngsters who meet in college and become best friends. However, after one of them faces a problem, the rest of the group decide to take a trip to Chennai to solve the crisis. 

The film, which is reportedly based on a true story, has Tovino, Vineeth Sreenivasan and Gautham Vasudev Menon playing themselves in cameo roles. Tovino narrates the movie, which also has singer Niranj Suresh playing a character too. 

Tovino had shared the news of the movie’s release on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday, urging viewers to catch the movie on the streaming platform. The actor, meanwhile, is gearing up for the release of Minnal Murali, which is set to drop on Netflix soon. 

The upcoming superhero film, directed by Basil Joseph, has Tovino playing a character named Jason, gains superpowers after being struck by lightning. The film also has Guru Somasundaram, Femina George, Aju Varghese and Harishree Ashokan as part of the cast. Its stunts are by Hollywood action director Vlad Rimburg, who has worked in Marvel’s Inhumans and Netflix series Lucifer.
