In a chat with News18, Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas discussed the challenges of being an outsider in the South Indian film industry, which is often dominated by actors from film families. Tovino explained. “When you are from a family with a legacy in films, your first opportunity might come more easily. But your second, third, and overall career success depend on how good you are. For outsiders, getting that first film is very hard, but once you prove yourself, it’s all about your talent and dedication. So, sure, they might get a head start, but after that, it’s a level playing field. It’s all about how good you are.”
