Actor Unni Mukundan expressed his happiness over the audience’s overwhelming response to his latest film Marco. Sharing the first-look poster of his character Marco, he reminisced about the journey of this character. “On December 21, 2018, I introduced Marco as a villain. On December 21, 2024, Marco becomes the hero. This is the magic of cinema. Thank you for all your support,” said Unni Mukundan.
