The Malayalam film Marco has been grabbing attention from fans and audiences. The film stars Unni Mukundan in the lead role as a violent gangster who brings down everything to avenge the death of a loved one while trying to protect what is left. In a recent interview with India Today, Unni Mukundan shared that the heavy use of violence in the film will ‘definitely not influence a person to go about on a killing spree.’
In the interaction, Unni said, “I don’t want to take the intelligence of the audience for granted. I know it’s a film, it’s for entertainment purpose. It will definitely not influence a person to go about on a killing spree and enjoy life in a certain way. That’s my take on it. I have been told that people had a tough time watching it but that was it. That was the whole idea of giving a certain kind of experience.”
Citing KGF’s example, he said, “It is a huge hit but I don’t know where it has been placed. What inspired people to watch that film and what happened after KGF? Nothing happened after KGF. What we got was KGF 2 and a bigger hit and a beautiful film. Something that we also have in mind. We will have a Marco 2, Marco 3 coming up, but it will be on the same lines. It will be a brutal action film. Because it’s a film, I think people will see it as a film.”
About Marco
Marco stars Siddique, Kabir Duhan Singh, Jagadish, and Abhimanyu S Thilakan. Following its initial screenings, numerous viewers commented that the film contained far more blood and gore than even notorious gore-heavy movies like Animal, Kill, or the KGF series. Released in theaters on December 20, Marco has quickly become a massive box office hit.
