Prithviraj Empuraan Mohanlal

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.

Despite opening to mixed responses from various quarters, Prithviraj Sukumaran’s third directorial venture, L2: Empuraan, starring Mohanlal in the lead role, became a massive commercial success and even ranked as the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time before it was eventually dethroned by Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra. At a time when the movie was continuing its theatrical run, Empuraan also sparked controversy over its content, particularly the depiction of scenes set against the backdrop of the 2002 Gujarat riots, which right-wing organisations took offence to as it didn’t align with their narrative. Eventually, the makers of the movie subjected the already CBFC-certified film to “voluntary modifications” to resolve the issue. However, Prithviraj, Mohanlal, and the movie’s writer, Murali Gopy, faced considerable backlash during the controversy. Now, Prithviraj has finally spoken out about the row, clarifying his position. Asserting that he began making the movie after narrating the story of Empuraan in script form to both Mohanlal and producer Antony Perumbavoor, the actor-director stated that he does not make films to express his political stances. …

Although the movie made big bucks at the box office and emerged as the second highest-grossing Indian film of the year so far, the journey to the top was anything but easy for actor Prithviraj Sukumaran’s third directorial venture, the Mohanlal-starrer L2: Empuraan. Embroiled in a controversy over its content, particularly the scenes set against the backdrop of the 2002 Gujarat pogrom, Empuraan made headlines for all the wrong reasons upon release, and the film’s team even had to make “voluntary modifications” to the version that was already approved by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and was running in theatres. Renowned actor Prakash Raj recently commented on the issue, criticising the unfortunate fate the movie met. “We can’t make certain kinds of films in this country. They won’t let it because there is censorship. Earlier, there was censorship at the state level, and now, they have clearly brought in central censorship. They decide what should be (made). The film industry is very vulnerable; there’s a lot of money involved. Their whole idea is …

Mohanlal’s Empuraan producer Antony Perumbavoor fires back at Suresh Kumar; says a strike will not be beneficial in any way

Published by Parlour News

Mohanlal’s upcoming political action film Empuraan is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of 2025. The film recently made headlines but for the wrong reasons, following a statement by Kerala Film Producers Association (KFPA) Vice President, Suresh Kumar, revealed that the film has surpassed a budget of 140 crores, without including the actors’ fees.  The statement from Suresh Kumar came amidst a press meet, where he mentioned that the Malayalam Film Industry would face a total shutdown from June 1st, as a protest against the exorbitantly high remuneration demanded by actors. Furthermore, the veteran producer also demanded that GST be withdrawn from the industry along with the entertainment tax.  In the latest turn of events, Antony Perumbavoor, who is the producer of the Mohanlal starrer, took to social media to respond to Suresh Kumar’s announcements. Perumbavoor mentioned that he decided to share the post publicly as a direct response to his colleague’s statements which were also made publicly.  Perumbavoor, in his post, questioned Suresh Kumar’s authority in announcing a shutdown and mentioned that the …
