Two day after actor Tovino Thomas put a post about his upcoming film 563 St. Charles Street, its debutant director Rony Roy revealed more details about the movie. “It’s an amalgamation of horror and mystery, that is adapted from true events,” he said in a statement, according to in.com.

Rony has earlier worked with director Abi Varghese in the film Monsoon Mangoes, that was shot abroad, and also with Don Max in 10 Kalpanakal. The groundwork for 563 St. Charles Street is on and the shooting is expected to commence in March next year.

It was revealed a couple of days ago that Tovino Thomas has signed the film that will be bankrolled by B Rakesh under the banner Universal Cinema. The film will be shot extensively in the US and Canada. Apart from directing the film, Rony Roy has also penned the story of this film. Sangeeth Jain has penned the screenplay and the rest of the technical crew includes Jakes Bejoy for music composition and Sreejith Sarang for editing with Jigme Tenzing cranking the camera.

Tovino posted about the movie, “It's a blessing for an actor to be able to work on films from different genres. Having debutante director Rony Roy, a veteran producer like B Rakesh sir, and a banner like Universal Cinema to bring this unique story to the silver screen makes it all the more special. Truly excited to be working on this project, which will also be my first crossover! Welcome to the menacing labyrinth that is 563 St. Charles Street..” His post carried the hashtag - 'don't believe in what your eyes are telling you'.

Tovino has been on a roll with several of his films coming out in recent weeks. And The Oskar Goes To and Luca came out last month, and he played the lead in both of them. There has also been Virus and Lucifer before that, in which Tovino played important roles. His film Kalki too will release next month.
