What's the story
The Malayalam action thriller Kattalan will play a crucial role in the expanding Marco universe, with the film connecting to an unresolved narrative thread from Marco, reported Variety India. Director Paul George's feature debut is not a standalone story. Marco left several story elements open-ended, which Kattalan will revisit and provide more context.
Narrative bridge
Here's how the 2 films are connected
The connection between the two films lies in the climax of Marco, where a child is introduced during the climax as Marco's nephew. The child was kidnapped, and the reason behind the kidnapping was left unexplained. Makers of Kattalan have reportedly taken that unresolved mystery and woven it into their own narrative structure, creating a bridge between the two films. Set against the backdrop of ivory smuggling, Kattalan stars Antony Varghese Pepe alongside Dushara Vijayan.
