It has been a long time since film lovers have been wondering whether the big-budget historical film 'Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham', starring Mohanlal, will be released through the OTT platform in the wake of the Covid outbreak. Now, the director of the film Priyadarshan himself has come up with the answer to these questions.

Priyadarshan said that the film, which has a budget of over Rs 100 crore, will be released only through theaters and should be enjoyed on the big screen. He said this in an interview with an online media. He said that he was ready to wait another six months for the theatrical release of the film.

Priyadarshan also said that both Mohanlal and producer Antony Perumbavoor have the same opinion and that they are sure that a film like 'Marakkar' will get big screens before its release through digital platforms. The release of the national award-winning film was postponed due to the spread of Covid.
