Priyadarshan reveals 'Marakkar' will release only after people recover from coronavirus

Filmmaker Priyadarshan in a recent media interview revealed that his next film- Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham would only release after the people recover from coronavirus. Further in the interview, he said that right now the priority is not the film's release but the safety and security of the citizens. Also, the filmmaker exclaimed that this is not the right time to release the movie in theatres, especially when people have other needs to meet. 

Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham, starring Mohanlal, Manju Warrier, and Suniel Shetty in the lead, was supposed to hit the marquee on March 26, 2020. However, due to the coronavirus lockdown, the makers of the film pushed the release to April. But after Priyadarshan's latest interview it is clear the makers are not releasing Marakkar anytime soon.
