Renowned Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas has publicly endorsed the Producers' Association's recent decision to mandate affidavits from stars, pledging not to use drugs while on set. This move aims to promote a drug-free environment during film production.
Addressing the media, Thomas affirmed his support for the policy, stating unequivocally his belief that drugs have no place on film shoots or in any setting. His comments came as part of a broader conversation about the industry's role in curbing drug use.
