In December, actor Unni Mukundan`s violent Malayalam actioner Marco took the box office by surprise. The film which made news for its violence attracted large number of audience across India to the theatres. Now after a successful run on the big screen, the film will be released on Sony LIV today. The makers had decided to release the film`s uncut version on OTT. However, their plans did not succeed owing to complaints raised to the Ministry of Broadcasting. 

No uncut version for Marco on streaming

On Thursday, the makers of Marco took to the film`s official social media handle to reveal why they will not be releasing the film`s uncut version on OTT. "Initially, we have planned to release ‘Marco’ uncut version for OTT. However, since various complaints were raised to the Ministry of Broadcasting, we were unable to proceed with that version.As a responsible production company, we have ensured compliance with all regulatory guidelines while maintaining the film’s core essence and cinematic experience.Hence we were forced to proceed with the same theatrical content on OTT also," they wrote.
