The Entire Cast
Marco is played by acclaimed actor Unni Mukundan, and he is nothing short of phenomenal in the portrayal of the character, delivering both subtlety and intensity. Mukundan plays a blind man named Victor, and through this role he does a decent job as an action-hero as it is a perfect blend of toughness together with vulnerability.
