Inspired by Tovino’s gesture, Kozhikode youth with hypermobility syndrome creates heartfelt gifts

Kakkodi: In a heartwarming gesture, K.P. Arun, a resident of Morikkara in Kakkodi, fulfilled his dream of gifting actor Tovino Thomas a specially designed poster of the film ARM and a miniature of Minnal Murali. Arun personally presented these unique creations to Tovino at a shooting location in Wayanad. He was accompanied by activist Noushad Thekkayil, along with K. Suresh, Babu, and T.M. Arshad.

Arun, who lives with hypermobility syndrome, greatly admires Tovino’s work and had always aspired to present something meaningful to the actor. A month and a half ago, Tovino gifted Arun a computer worth ₹1.5 lakh. This thoughtful gesture inspired Arun to use the computer to design the poster and create the miniature as a tribute.

Despite the challenges of sitting for extended periods, Arun taught himself graphic design through YouTube tutorials. His passion for designing and determination enabled him to overcome physical limitations and complete this labour of love.
