The makers unveiled the film’s trailer yesterday and going by the scale and vision it can safely be assumed that the movie, directed by Priyadarshan, will be a visual epic.

Marakkar also marks Keerthy’s big comeback to Malayalam cinema after a gap of seven years. She had made her debut in a lead role with the film Geethaanjali (2013). Since then she has been busy in Tamil and Telugu cinema.
Marakkar was supposed to be released last March, but the release was postponed indefinitely on account of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
When rumours began swirling that the film would be released directly on an OTT platform, director Priyadarshan scotched them, saying the film can only be enjoyed on the big screen and the team was ready to wait for a theatrical release.
