Unni Mukundan as Marco Jr
In the 2019 film Mikhael, directed by Haneef, Marco Jr made an appearance as the antagonist. The rivalry between two families of goons, their murders, the ineffective police interventions, and the unexpected involvement of innocent people are the main themes of the action drama. Mikhael is available to stream on Amazon Prime.
The stylish villain Marco Jr, who seeks revenge for the death of his brother, was portrayed by Unni. Although the actor has not portrayed many antagonists in his career, Marco Jr is a standout performance. While the spin-off is well worth the wait, Mikhael's box office performance was not particularly strong.

The monochromatic poster and the ominous soundtrack portray Marco's character as unnerving. The original theme song for Marco in Mikhael serves as the background music in the poster.
