Why Was Marco 2 Cancelled?
After performing well at the box office, Marco was criticized for excessive violence and dark themes. The mixed reception may have got the team thinking again about making a sequel. Veteran actor Jagadish, who played the villainous role in Marco, also shared his views about the criticism.
According to The Times of India, he said, “The question is, do audiences like the character or Jagadish as a person? In Marco, my character Tony Isaac supports violence. But does the audience like Tony Isaac or Jagadish? If it’s Jagadish they like, then let me be clear—I have never spoken in favor of violence.”
What’s Next For Unni Mukundan?
Despite the cancellation of Marco 2, Unni Mukundan is keeping busy with several exciting projects. He is currently working on Gandharva Jr., a film aimed at a national audience. He is also preparing for his directorial debut, which will focus on a superhero-based story. In addition to these, he has a Telugu film in the pipeline.
While the Marco chapter might be over, Unni’s journey is far from it. Fans can still expect plenty of action and surprises from the actor in the near future.
