2024's Marco, starring Unni Mukundan, emerged as the highest-grossing A-rated and the tenth highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. Though the movie received highly positive reviews from critics and emerged as a commercially successful movie, it also became a topic of discussion for its gory scenes and gruesome violence. Even CBFC banned the movie from TV screening. Despite all the negative reactions, fans had hoped for a sequel to Marco and once again see Mukundan in a ruthless gangster avatar. However, here is a disheartening update for fans having hopes for Marco 2.

Marco 2 Officially Shelved!
On Saturday, Unni Mukundan shared a video on Instagram showing off a dramatic physical transformation with a caption reading, "Ok, one more time ! #Reminder" (sic)
The post triggered excitement among fans and they were in awe of the amazing transformation, presumably for an upcoming role.
While fans flooded the comments section with their reactions to the amazing transformation, one couldn't hold on to his excitement and asked about the sequel to Marco.
The fan wrote, "Marco 2 kab ayegi?" (When will Marco 2 come) (sic)
Responding to the question, the actor wrote, "Bro, apologies, but I have dropped plans to continue the Marco series. Too much negativity around the project. I’ll try my best to bring something bigger and better than Marco. Thanks for all the love and positivity. Cheers." (sic)
Well, with his post, Mukundan has shut down the rumours for good and bid adieu to his character Marco Jr.
