Unni Mukundan recently fascinated audiences by speaking fluently in Hindi during the promotion of his film 'Marco,' which continues to garner overwhelmingly positive responses from North Indian viewers. The actor expressed heartfelt gratitude for the encouraging feedback the film has been receiving.

'Marco' marks Unni Mukundan's debut Hindi-dubbed release. Despite being relatively unfamiliar to the Hindi-speaking audience, the warm reception left the actor pleasantly surprised. “That’s why I decided to come to Mumbai and interact with my new audience directly,” he shared during a promotional event.

Unni Mukundan’s proficiency in Hindi has also become a hot topic among his Malayali fans. “Is this really our Unni? His Hindi is on point!” remarked one amused fan. With the success of 'Marco' in North India, fans are speculating that Bollywood might soon open its doors to Unni Mukundan.

In a surprising turn of events, 'Marco' is outperforming Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh’s Christmas release 'Baby John' in terms of audience response. The film has crossed Rs 57 crore in global box office collections and, within seven days, has emerged as the highest-grossing Malayalam film in North India. If this momentum continues, the movie is expected to enter the Rs 100 crore club soon.
