About ‘L2: Empuraan’
‘L2: Empuraan’ is the sequel to Mohanlal’s 2019 blockbuster Lucifer. It is the second installment of the planned trilogy, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. Earlier, in an interaction with Film Companion, the director revealed that Mohanlal will portray an unconventional role in the film, unlike his action-oriented stints. ‘You are not going to see Mohanlal wind up as mund and beat up people in a closed-down factory, that is not what I’m making. Maybe I’ll do one of those Bollywood-ish end title songs,’ he confirmed.
‘L2: Empuraan’ features Prithviraj Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, Sachin Khedekar, Saniya Iyappan, Fazil, and Indrajith Sukumaran in important roles alongside Mohanlal. The film is slated for a theatrical release in 2025.
