"Marco" Sets to Hit Screens on December 20, 2024

The highly anticipated Malayalam neo-noir action-thriller "Marco" is set to hit theaters on December 20, 2024, perfectly timed for the Christmas weekend. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Haneef Adeni and produced by Shareef Muhammed under Cubes Entertainments, "Marco" brings a unique twist to Indian cinema as a spin-off centered entirely on the antagonist.

Unni Mukundan takes on the titular role of Marco, delving into the backstory and evolution of the villain first introduced in Adeni's 2019 film, Mikhael. This character-focused narrative offers a fresh perspective, breaking away from traditional hero-centric storytelling in Indian cinema.

An Ensemble Cast and Stellar Crew

Joining Unni Mukundan is an impressive ensemble cast, including Jagadish, Siddique, Anson Paul, Yukti Thareja, Riyaz Khan, Jinu Joseph, Sreejith Ravi, and Kabir Duhan Singh. The film’s technical brilliance is powered by Chandru Selvaraj’s cinematography, Shameer Muhammed’s editing, and a gripping soundtrack and background score by Ravi Basrur.

Multilingual Release and Music

"Marco" will be released in Malayalam, with dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi, expanding its reach across India. The film's music, composed by Ravi Basrur, has already created waves with its first single, "Blood", released on November 22, 2024. Music rights have been acquired by Sony Music, adding to the movie's buzz.

A Unique Concept in Indian Cinema

What sets "Marco" apart is its focus on the antagonist's journey, making it the first Malayalam film to dedicate a sequel entirely to the villain without any connection to the original hero. This bold narrative choice aligns with global cinema trends while offering a novel experience for Indian audiences.

With its gripping storyline, stellar performances, and innovative approach, "Marco" is poised to set a new benchmark in Malayalam and Indian cinema. Don’t miss this action-packed thriller hitting theaters on December 20, 2024!
