Prithviraj Empuraan Mohanlal

Published by Parlour News

Although it emerged as the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time, only to be dethroned later by Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, actor-turned-director Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Mohanlal-starrer L2: Empuraan opened to mixed reviews upon release. Despite being the most anticipated Malayalam film of 2025, marking the second instalment in a planned trilogy, Empuraan failed to impress a large section of the audience, who were mostly disappointed that it didn’t live up to the first part, Lucifer (2019). What added to its woes was a controversy that erupted soon after the film’s release, with right-wing organisations taking offence at the scenes set against the backdrop of the 2002 Gujarat riots, as they didn’t align with their narrative. Since then, fans have been concerned about whether the proposed third part of the franchise would see the light of day.
