Unni Mukundan recently gained pan-Indian recognition with the film Marco. Before that, he was a leading actor in Malayalam cinema, navigating the usual ups and downs typical of a career in the film industry. Interestingly, he has not played a romantic hero in the past seven years, a fact he confirmed himself in an interview with Onmanorama, stating, ‘I haven’t played a romantic hero in my films, from Meppadiyan to Marco.’

His upcoming film, Get-Set Baby, which releases today, marks a departure from this pattern. Starring alongside Nikhila Vimal, he takes on the challenge of a romantic comedy, a genre he admits was difficult for him. Unni Mukundan also revealed that he avoids intimate scenes in films and follows a strict no-kissing rule for all his projects. ‘I want my movies to be appealing to all kinds of audiences,’ he explained.

However, this stance seems ironic, considering his last film, Marco, was an A-rated action thriller featuring intense violence, including the murder of a mother and disturbing imagery of childbirth and child abduction.
