'Marco' Franchise To Continue With Bollywood Actor? Mollywood

'Marco' Franchise To Continue With Bollywood Actor?

Kochi, July 1 - A couple of weeks after actor Unni Mukundan announced that he had dropped plans for a sequel to the action thriller Marco, the makers have now confirmed that the franchise will go on (with or without him). ## Cubes Entertainments, the production house behind Marco, clarified that they hold the complete rights to the franchise and intend to move forward, despite the actor's withdrawal. The clarification came in response to a fan comment urging the studio to either proceed with Marco 2 or transfer the rights to another banner. ## "Thank you for the overwhelming love and support for Marco. Discussions regarding the Marco series are still not over yet. Cubes Entertainment exclusively owns all rights to Marco, and we firmly believe the journey of Marco holds immense potential. Please note: We are not open to transferring or sharing the rights of this franchise,” the studio stated, as per a report by Onmanorama.com. ## Meanwhile, reports suggest that Marco 2 may be in development with a Bollywood actor stepping into the lead role, although no official confirmation has been made. Unni Mukundan, in a recent social media post, had expressed his decision to step away from the sequel due to the "negativity" surrounding the film's violent themes. ## Directed by Haneef Adeni, Marco was a major commercial success, grossing over ₹100 crore worldwide following its release in December 2024. The film had received an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) due to its intense and gritty content. ## Stay tuned...

'Drishyam 3' To Have Same Story In All Versions Mollywood

'Drishyam 3' To Have Same Story In All Versions

Kochi, June 23 - After the official announcement, director Jeethu Joseph has dropped a major update regarding Drishyam 3. There have been speculations that the Hindi version of this crime suspense thriller will be different, unlike the first two movies, which were remakes of the original Malayalam films. ## During a recent conversation with the Times of India, director Jeethu Joseph, who directed the first two Malayalam versions of Drishyam 3 and will return for the third instalment, said that the script of the upcoming film is nearing completion and contrary to the rumours, he confirmed the plot will be same in all versions. ## "There have been reports that the Hindi version will have a different story, but that's not true. The Hindi film will also be based on my story. Once I complete my script, it will be shared with the Hindi team, who will then adapt it to suit their setting and make suitable cultural changes", the filmmaker said. ## Both Hindi and Malayalam versions of Drishyam 3 will start rolling in October this year. There were rumours that the Malayalam movie would be released before the Hindi, but Jeethu Joseph hinted that both versions may have a simultaneous release. ## "There was a request from their side for a simultaneous release. So, we have been discussing the prospect of releasing the films simultaneously. In this OTT age, they feel that releasing on different dates might reduce the film's impact in other languages", he added. ## It is confirmed that Drishyam 3 Hindi will be directed by Abhishek Pathak and will see Ajay Devgn and the rest of the cast reprising their roles. The Malayalam version features superstar Mohanlal in the lead role alongside Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Murali Gopy, and Asha Sharath. ## Stay tuned...

Unni Mukundan's 'Marco 2' Shelved Mollywood

Unni Mukundan's 'Marco 2' Shelved

Kochi, June 15 - Actor Unni Mukundan's action thriller Marco proved to be one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Malayalam cinema with the worldwide collection of over 100 crores. However, despite the big box office success, the movie also brought criticism for the actor. ## Marco attracted huge controversy and negativity for its violent nature, which many believe was below the belt and also put CBFC under scrutiny for passing the film. Despite all the noise surrounding the movie, it emerged as a huge box office success, leading the makers to announce Marco, with a promise that they would be extra careful in depicting the violence. ## There was a huge anticipation for the sequel among its targeted audience; however, in a surprising turn of events, Marco 2 has officially been dropped. Confirming the same, Unni Mukundan responded to a fan's comment on Instagram that the film has been shelved as there was too much negativity around it. ## "Apologies, but I have dropped plans to continue the Marco series. Too much negativity around the project. I'll try my best to bring something bigger and better than Marco. Thanks for all the love and positivity. Cheers", the actor said. ## Marco was directed by Haneef Adeni and produced by Cubes Entertainments. The plot follows Marco Jr (Unni), a ruthless gangster and the adopted son of the Adattu crime family, who goes on a bloody rampage after the brutal death of his blind foster brother Victor. ## Stay tuned...

Malayalam 'Drishyam 3' To Release Before Hindi Version? Mollywood

Malayalam 'Drishyam 3' To Release Before Hindi Version?

Kochi, June 14 - Superstar Mohanlal and director Jeetu Joseph reunited for the crime suspense thriller, Drishyam 3, which was officially announced earlier this year without any release date or shooting timeline. It is among the most anticipated films, and the stakes are all-time high for the film. ## The Hindi version of Drishyam 3, headlined by Ajay Devgn, has also been announced for a confirmed release date of October 2, 2026. The film will be directed by Abhishek Pathak, with the rest of the cast also expected to return. It will go on the floors towards the end of this year. ## Drishyam 3 Hindi will reportedly be different from the Malayalam version, unlike the first two films, which were remakes of the Malayalam films. It was supposed to hit the big screen first among other versions; however, the latest reports suggest otherwise. ## Reportedly, Jeetu Joseph and Mohanlal will begin shooting for the third instalment of this celebrated franchise in September this year, and if this happens, then it will likely hit the big screen ahead of the Hindi version. ## While the early release of Drishyam 3 Malayalam may not be a concern for the Hindi version, as both are reportedly different, it may prove to be a big advantage for the former if the makers decide to release it in the dubbed Hindi version. ## There is undoubtedly huge anticipation among the Hindi audience for the movie, and the Malayalam makers must be aware of it. Earlier, there were reports that both Malayalam and Hindi will be shot simultaneously, but it is not looking like the case anymore. It needs to be seen how things unfold going forward. ## Stay tuned...
