The drama of action in Malayalam Marco turned into a massive blockbuster when it was released in 2024. With Unni Mukundan in the main role, the film was promoted as “the most violent Malayalam film of all time” and managed to create a strong box-office buzz. He became the first film classified in Malayalam to cross the raw brand of Rs 100 crores in the world, according to Hindustan Times.
Now a series of Marco is officially underway. The Production House Cubes Entertainments recorded the title Lord Marco with the Chamber of Malayalam films, confirming the continuation of the franchise. Haneef Adeni, who directed the first part, will return as director of the second episode, while Shareef Muhammed will finance the project under the Banner Cubes Entertainments.
Why is Unni Mukundan in Lord Marco?
The torsion for fans is that Unni Mukundan will not be part of Lord Marco. Manufacturers have confirmed that the rest will be titled by another actor, although the casting is still in progress. This raised questions among Internet users about the reasons why Mukundan was replaced despite the huge success of the first film.
One himself had previously specified that he did not intend to return for a suite. In June, the actor published a video of his weight loss transformation on social networks. When a fan asked him questions about Marco 2, he answered: “Bro, apologies but I left plans to continue the Marco series. Too much negativity around the project. I will do my best to bring something bigger and better than Marco. Thank you for all love and positivity. Cheers. “
His statement said he wanted to move away from the controversy surrounding the first film, which was widely discussed for his extreme violence. Some viewers even said they felt sick during projections due to the gore.
Here’s what we know about Lord Marco
Although the official announcement of the distribution is still expected, the reports suggest that Lord Marco will be made on a much larger scale compared to the original. The recording of title articles, which has surfaced online through the commercial analyst Ab George, showed the names of director Haneef Adeni and producer Shareef Muhammed but no mention of Unni Mukundan.
