Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
the
Mohanlal
starring
historical
drama
is
the
most
anticipated
upcoming
project
of
Malayalam
cinema.
The
movie,
which
was
originally
slated
to
hit
the
theaters
in
March
2020,
was
postponed
due
to
the
coronavirus
pandemic.
Reportedly,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
is
now
delayed
indefinitely,
and
will
now
hit
the
theaters
only
after
the
release
of
Drishyam
2.
According
to
the
reports
published
by
a
leading
online
portal,
the
makers
are
unsure
when
they
will
be
able
to
release
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
which
demands
a
massive
release
worldwide.
So,
Antony
Perumbavoor,
the
producer
who
bankrolls
both
the
Priyadarshan
directorial
and
Drishyam
2,
has
reportedly
decided
to
release
the
Jeethu
Joseph
project
first.
As
reported
earlier,
the
makers
are
aiming
for
a
solo
release
for
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
with
around
5000
plus
screens
all
over
the
world.
It
is
impossible
in
the
current
situation,
as
it
will
take
several
months
more
for
the
world
to
come
back
to
its
normal
state.
This
is
the
reason
why
the
release
of
the
Mohanlal-Priyadarshan
project
is
being
pushed
indefinitely.
Instead,
Aashirvad
Cinema
will
release
Drishyam
2,
which
is
a
smaller
film
made
on
a
moderate
budget,
first.
The
shooting
of
the
Mohanlal-Jeethu
Joseph
project
will
start
rolling
on
August
17,
2020,
in
Thodupuzha,
at
the
same
location
where
the
first
part
Drishyam
was
shot.
The
team
is
planning
to
release
the
movie
immediately
after
the
lockdown
ends
and
theaters
open.
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
which
is
touted
to
be
the
biggest
motion
picture
ever
made
in
Malayalam
cinema,
brings
back
the
much-celebrated
actor-director
duo
Mohanlal
and
Priyadarshan
after
a
short
gap.
The
movie,
which
features
the
complete
actor
as
the
titular
character
Kunjali
Marakkar
IV
aka
Mohammed
Ali,
features
some
of
the
most
prominent
faces
of
Indian
cinema
in
its
cast
and
crew.
