Priyadarshan’s magnum opus Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham (Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea) drops on Amazon Prime Video today. But the filmmaker is unhappy about the multilingual’s digital release, convinced that his passion project is better suited for the big screens. The Mohanlal starrer — set in the 16th century Calicut and based on the fourth Kunjali Marakkar, the admiral of the fleet of the Zamorin — had a theatrical release on December 2.
