Marco won’t ‘influence a person to go on a killing spree’, says actor Unni Mukundan as he defends ‘Malayalam cinema’s most violent film’

Unni said that even he had had heard that people were getting uncomfortable watching the film but said that this was the idea behind creating the experience of the film. “I have been told that people had a tough time watching it but that was it. That was the whole idea of giving a certain kind of experience,” he said and added that the sequels of the film will be on similar lines. “We will have a Marco 2, Marco 3 coming up, but it will be on the same lines. It will be a brutal action film. Because it’s a film, people will see it as a film.” Talking about action films that showed violence, Unni mentioned that he watched Sholay when he was growing up and said, “Nothing has affected me in a way that I got influenced and started doing something which is not cool for the society.”

In another chat with India Today Digital, Unni shared that the excessively violent film used almost 250-300 litres of fake blood and mentioned that the composition of the fake blood was “too sweet.” “It was a chemical with a lot of sugar in it. So, if you are diabetic, you should not be a part of a film with such bloodshed,” he said.
