Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
the
Mohanlal
starring
historical
drama
is
touted
to
be
the
costliest
project
ever
made
in
the
history
of
Malayalam
cinema.
Recently,
it
was
rumoured
that
the
release
of
the

project
has
been
pushed.
However,
the
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
team
has
now
officially
put
an
end
to
the
speculations.
Recently
the
makers
revealed
a
brand
new
poster
of
the
Mohanlal
starrer
through
the
official
social
media
pages
of
the
project
and
confirmed
the

Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham

excitement

were
shared
by
several
popular
online
entertainment
portals
and
industry
members,
including

But,
Pillai

deleted
the

and
cine-goers
bashed
him
for
spreading
baseless
rumours.
