True tribute
Tovino and Samyuktha Menon starrer Edakkad Battalion 06, which revolves around the life of army personnel, is successfully running in the theatres. Viewers have been praising Tovino for his character Shafeeq, an army man, and one among the people who appreciated his work and expressed the wish to meet him in person was none other than the mother of martyr Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. Sandeep was martyred in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
The actor visited Sandeep's house and met his parents, who were all praise for his performance in the movie. The Major's mother, who was in awe of Tovino's performance, said that she could see her son while the actor was performing in the movie and therefore wanted to
congratulate him personally. She also took him around the house showing him photographs and various accolades that martyr Sandeep had received.
