Vishal-SJ Suryah's Mark Antony OTT rights bagged by this platform
The forthcoming Tamil film titled Mark Antony is generating significant buzz within the entertainment industry. With Vishal and SJ Suryah in the lead roles, the movie is both written and directed by Adhik Ravichandran.
This movie has gained considerable attention in the cultural conversation due to the flamboyant and unconventional characters that inhabit this time-traveling masala entertainer, paying homage to the bygone era of Tamil cinema.
The trailer of Mark Antony has become a sensation!
In Tamil Nadu, the Mark Antony trailer has struck a chord with cinema enthusiasts. In less than 21 hours, the trailer has amassed over 14 million views on YouTube alone, instilling confidence in the filmmakers about its ability to resonate with a broad audience.
Based on the trailer, Mark Antony is a fantasy film centered around a scientific breakthrough. A brilliant but mad scientist has invented a telephone that enables users to traverse through time. Surprisingly, this invention isn't employed to prevent significant historical events or calamities that have plagued humanity over the centuries. Instead, it's used by megalomaniac gangsters with a penchant for extravagant fashion to settle personal scores.
Judging from the trailer, SJ Suryah appears to have a significant platform to showcase his exceptional talent for portraying eccentric characters. He portrays a promiscuous gangster with a penchant for violence, serving as a key source of comedy in this sci-fi masala drama.
Mark Antony holds substantial importance for Vishal, as his career has encountered some setbacks. He is hopeful that the film will provide the much-needed boost at the box office. Amazon Prime Video has acquired the streaming rights for Mark Antony, though an official confirmation is pending.
The film also features Ritu Varma, Selvaraghavan, Sunil, and Abhinaya in supporting roles and is scheduled for release in cinemas on September 15th.
