Mohanlal's
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
is
gearing
up
for
a
grand
release
on
August
12,
2021.
The
much-awaited
historical
drama
will
be
hitting
the
theatres
as
an
Onam
special
release
of
the
year.
As
per
the
reports,
Marakkar
will
be
exclusively
screened
on
all
screens
across
Kerala
for
the
first
three
weeks
of
its
release.
Yes,
you
read
it
right.
The
Priyadarshan
directorial
is
the
first-ever
Malayalam
film
in
history
to
get
an
all-screens
exclusive
release.
According
to
believable
sources,
the
makers
of
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
have
made
an
agreement
with
the
Kerala
Exhibitors
and
Producer's
Associations,
to
screen
the
movie
on
all
screens
which
will
be
open
in
the
state
exclusively
for
the
first
3
weeks
of
its
release.
No
other
movies
will
be
allowed
to
release
during
this
period.
The
makers
are
thus
planning
to
get
the
biggest
possible
release
for
the
Mohanlal
starrer,
which
is
the
most
expensive
project
even
produced
in
the
Malayalam
cinema.
An
official
announcement
on
the
same
is
expected
to
be
made
very
soon.

Marakkar
Arabikadadlinte
Simham,
which
bagged
multiple
National
Film
Awards
including
the
trophy
for
the
Best
Feature
Film,
was
originally
supposed
to
hit
the
theatres
in
March
2020.
But
the
release
of
the
Mohanlal
starrer
was
postponed
multiple
times
due
to
the
novel
coronavirus
pandemic.
However,
the
makers
were
very
sure
that
they
don't
want
an
OTT
release
for
the
Priyadarshan
directorial.
Mohanlal
is
playing
the
titular
character
Kunjali
Marakkar
IV,
the
naval
chieftain
of
Samoothiri
Kingdom,
in
the
movie.
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
is
jointly
scripted
by
director
Priyadarshan,
and
his
associate
Ani
Sasi.
The
magnum
opus,
which
is
being
made
with
a
massive
budget
of
over
Rs.
100
Crore
is
jointly
produced
by
Antony
Perumbavoor's
Aashirvad
Cinemas,
Confident
Group,
and
Moonshot
Entertainments.
