Aju Varghese’s tonsured look sparks buzz on social media

Aju Varghese’s new look in the upcoming movie ‘Pluto’ has become a talking point on social media. The actor sports a tonsured head for his role in the film. Meanwhile, audiences have been commenting that Aju resembles Jamban from the popular Malayalam comic ‘Jambanum Thumbanum.’ In ‘Pluto,’ Aju will be essaying the role of Tiger Thampi.

‘Pluto,’ starring Neeraj Madhav and Althaf Salim in the lead roles, is a science-fiction alien comedy. This marks the second directorial venture of Adithyan Chandrasekhar after Enkilum Chandrike. The film is bankrolled by Reju Kumar and Reshmi Reju under the banner of Orchid Films International. The movie also boasts an impressive cast including Aju Varghese, Arsha Baiju, Dinesh Prabhakar, Vineeth Thattil, Subin Tarzan, Nihal, Saheer Muhammad, Thushara Pillai, Sachin Joseph, and Nimna Fathoomi.

Althaf Salim appears as an alien who lands on Earth in ‘Pluto.’ The film is a comedy entertainer that narrates how the alien manages to live among humans. The makers hope that Pluto will become another milestone in the alien-comedy genre, which is rarely explored in Malayalam cinema.
