One of the most anticipated upcoming releases in Indian cinema is “L2E: Empuraan,” starring Lalettan Mohanlal in the lead role and directed by star actor Prithviraj Sukumaran. This high-octane political action-thriller is a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Lucifer and is the second part of the trilogy.
L2E: Empuraan will have a grand worldwide release on March 27, 2025, in Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, and Tamil. Already, the advance bookings have opened, and the film has been setting new records through its ticket sales. Ace producer Dil Raju is distributing the film in the Telugu states through SVC.
Ahead of the release, the makers held a pre-release press meet in Hyderabad Yesterday.Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Dil Raju, DOP Sujith Vaassudev, actor Karthikeya Dev, and others attend the event. Talking about the budget, the film’s director-actor Prithviraj stated, “I’m openly challenging to guess the budget of Empuraan, and it’ll be less than what you think. That’s Malayalam Cinema.” The budget decided after the words on paper. When I went to narrate to Mohanlal sir, I was hoping he could say “You’re dreaming big, my child.” But he supported me and understood my vision for second part.”
Adding to that he said, “Me and Mohanlal garu didn’t took remuneration and spent every penny on the making. The acceptance, anticipation, and excitement ever since the ticket bookings opened have actually caught all of us by surprise. We were confident that people were excited and ticket bookings would be good, but this is truly beyond all our imaginations. Thank you so much.”
L2E: Empuraan is produced by Antony Perumbavoor and Gokulam Gopalan under their respective banners, Aashirvad Cinemas and Sree Gokulam Movies. Hombale Films, Sree Gokulam Movies, and Anil Thadani’s AA Films will distribute the film in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and North India, respectively.
