Sathya Jyothi Films generated the heat this Ayudha Pooja with the release of a strong new poster by MARK, their new Kannada action thriller featuring Kiccha Sudeep. The accompanying caption, "Celebrate the spirit of strength," goes well with the theme of the festival, as the poster itself has Sudeep standing tall in a fierce, commanding attitude—merging religious sentiment and movie intensity. With audiences ready for the first lyrical single releasing on October 6, things are already hot across social media.
MARK is Sudeep's 47th film and returns him to the cinema halls in a raw, action-oriented avatar. Directed by newcomer Vijay Karthikeyaa, the movie has already received a lot of hype due to its chic promo material and timely releases around big festivals. With its release planned on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, MARK appears all set to go out with a bang.
The Ayudha Pooja release wasn't a random decision. In the south, on this day, which comes during the festival of Navratri, people celebrate by worshiping weapons, tools, and instruments of power. By picking this date to release a growling poster, the makers skillfully blend local culture with the theme of the film: power. The symbolic timing gives the promo layers, and fans are flocking in numbers on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
The music of the film, which is penned by B. Ajaneesh Loknath, begins with the highly anticipated first single, named MARK – First Roar, on October 6. With lyrics also likely to live up to the film's assertive tone, and with visuals also most likely to project Sudeep's screen presence, the audience awaits this audio-visual treat. The remaining soundtrack should roll out in the few weeks before the release date.
With the star power of Kiccha Sudeep, a debutant director with potential, and a release scheduled to coincide with maximum cultural and festive eyeballs, MARK is becoming a high-octane mass entertainer. With the pre-countdown to the first single, this Ayudha Pooja thunder is just the beginning of what is going to be a storm on the big screen.
