The makers of Marco have officially released Riyaz Khan’s deleted fight scenes on YouTube after fans were disappointed by their omission from the OTT version.
The makers of Marco had initially announced that the fight sequences omitted from the theatrical release would be included in the film’s OTT version. These action scenes also featured actor Riyaz Khan. However, fans were left disappointed when the team later revealed that the extended cut would not be available on OTT due to multiple complaints. As a result, only the theatrical version was released on SonyLIV.
Acknowledging the fans’ disappointment, the makers recently took to Instagram to announce that they had officially uploaded the deleted action sequences featuring Riyaz Khan on YouTube.
The Marco team clarified that the scenes were made available through Cubes Entertainment’s YouTube channel, fulfilling their earlier promise to the audience. They reassured fans that these fight sequences did not contain excessive violence, ensuring compliance with regulatory guidelines.
Further addressing circulating rumors, the team emphasized that they could not be held responsible for any unofficial claims or misinformation beyond their control.

A gripping Malayalam action thriller, Marco is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Haneef Adeni and headlined by Unni Mukundan in the titular role. Produced by Shareef Muhammed, the film serves as a spinoff to Mikhael (2019), expanding the universe of Adeni’s action-packed storytelling. Released on December 20 last year, Marco received widespread critical acclaim and emerged as the highest-grossing A-rated Malayalam film. It also became one of the year’s top earners, solidifying its place as a major success in the industry.
The film follows the journey of Marco Jr. (played by Unni Mukundan), the son of the feared gangster Marco Sr., as he navigates a perilous world of crime, power struggles, and redemption. With intense action sequences, a gripping narrative, and a stellar supporting cast, Marco has captivated audiences, further cementing Unni Mukundan’s reputation as a leading action star in Malayalam cinema.
