Although details about the film’s genre and cast are yet to be revealed, according to Cinema Express, it is said to be a multi-starrer, featuring a prominent actor from both Malayalam and Telugu cinema in the lead role.
Marco
Marco, a spin-off of Mikhael (2019), both directed by Haneef Adeni, also featured Unni Mukundan as an antagonist, as he did alongside Nivin Pauly in the original film.
The ensemble cast of Marco includes Kabir Duhan Singh, Anson Paul, Arjun Nandakumar, Durva Thaker, Yukti Tareja, Abhimanyu Shammy Thilakan, Ishan Shoukath, Siddique, Jagadish and Riyaz Khan, among others.
Chandru Selvaraj handles the cinematography for Marco, with Shameer Muhammed as the editor. KGF-fame Ravi Basrur composes the music.
Marco is produced by Shareef Muhammed and Abdul Gadhaf of Cubes Entertainments, in collaboration with Unni Mukundan Films, the lead actor’s home production company.
“Marco is the most violent movie ever made in Malayalam. Unni Mukundan’s swag and stylish filmmaking are the takeaways of the movie with a predictable story,” our review read.
