Malayalam cinema is celebrated for its realistic storytelling and emotionally engaging narratives. But once in a while, a commercial action entertainer comes along that shatters expectations — It Marco was one such film. Popular for its high-octane action sequences and gritty drama, the movie created a new benchmark for violence and thrill in Malayalam cinema. Its success was not restricted to Kerala alone, but it also picked up well in other language markets.
Headlined by Unni Mukundan and helmed by Haneef Adeni, It Marco even generated a buzz among Hindi-speaking viewers, who were struck by the magnitude and intensity of the film. The success of the film was reported to have impressed Telugu producer Dil Raju, who is said to have invited Haneef Adeni to join the Tollywood industry.
Now, the talk of the town is the It Marco sequel, officially registered under the title “Lord Marco”. Sources indicate that Unni Mukundan is unlikely to reprise his lead role. The makers are reportedly considering a Malayalam star with a strong mass-action image to step into the high-octane role. It is also yet to be confirmed whether Haneef Adeni will return to direct the sequel.
For fans, the news of Lord Marco has already created huge excitement. While Unni Mukundan may not be leading the sequel, there is a chance he could make a cameo appearance. Either way, the sequel promises high-octane action and a thrilling cinematic experience for action movie lovers across India.
