The trailer of the much-awaited Kannada action thriller Mark featuring Kichcha Sudeep has been released, offering a gripping preview of a race-against-time mission. Directed by Vijay Kartikeyaa, the film is set to arrive in theatres on December 25, marking a second collaboration between the director and Sudeep after their 2024 Christmas hit Max. The trailer introduces Sudeep as Ajay Markandayya, widely known as Mark, who takes charge as Superintendent of Police after a string of shocking child abduction cases. With 18 children kidnapped and bodies appearing one after another, the story sets up a tense fight against a ruthless gang. Mark is handed just 18 hours to rescue the remaining children, building urgency, action, and emotional drama into the narrative.
The film positions Mark against a powerful political figure Adikeshava, played by Shine Tom Chacko, and his associate Stephen, portrayed by Guru Somasundaram. The trailer hints at a mix of intense police investigation, mass action sequences, emotional stakes, and unconventional tactics. Sudeep’s fierce screen presence, punch-packed dialogues, and signature swagger make the trailer a treat for his fans. The visual tone resembles the mass style of Max, with energetic stunts, chase sequences, and dance numbers ensuring a commercial entertainer vibe.
The cast includes Yogi Babu, Gopalkrishna Deshpande, Vikranth, Naveen Chandra, Deepshika, Roshni Prakash and more, with several glimpses in the trailer. Music is composed by Ajaneesh B Loknath, cinematography by Shekar Chandra and editing by SR Ganesh Baabu. Produced by Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan under Sathya Jyothi Films and Kichcha Creatiions, Mark is geared for a festive season outing. The film will clash with Arjun Janya’s 45 starring Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra and Raj B Shetty, adding excitement to the Christmas weekend for Kannada movie lovers.
