Today, Unni Mukundan stands as a towering figure in Malayalam cinema. His commitment to storytelling and his ability to breathe life into any role have made him an audience favorite. Beyond acting, he has also explored other creative avenues, establishing himself as a lyricist, singer, and producer.
Unni hit a career high with the blockbuster Malayalam movie Malikapuram, which crossed the remarkable 100-crore mark. His recent Tamil film Garudan further cemented his place as a powerhouse performer. Through his home production company, UMF (Unni Mukundan Films), he has also delivered critically acclaimed projects like Meppadiyaan, Shefeekkinte Santhosham, and Jai Ganesh. Now, all eyes are on his most anticipated upcoming film, Marco, which is set to captivate audiences once again.
