Mohanlal's magnum opus Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea, which opened earlier this month to mixed reviews, will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on December 17, the streaming giant announced.

This period drama, which tells the story of Kunjali Marakkar IV, who is considered to be one of the greatest naval chiefs of India, has been directed by Priyadarshan. The film won three awards at the 67th National Film Awards for including Best Feature Film, Best Special Effects, and Best Costume. 

“I believe this is a story that will touch the hearts and emotional strings of every Indian. To be able to bring it to life on such an extraordinary scale is a dream come true for me. I am more than happy about the digital premiere of Marakkar on Prime Video, which will give viewers across the country an opportunity to watch the movie from the comfort of their homes, along with their families,” Mohanlal said in a statement.

The film also stars Arjun Sarja, Suniel Shetty, Manju Warrier, Keerthy Suresh, the late Nedumudi Venu, and Pranav Mohanlal, among others.
