The highly anticipated sequel to Lucifer, L2: Empuraan, starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, is generating massive pre-release buzz. Positioned as a pan-India project, the film is witnessing extraordinary pre-booking trends, setting new benchmarks across Indian cinema.
While Malayalam films typically dominate their home market, L2: Empuraan is seeing exceptional advance bookings nationwide, a testament to its scale and anticipation. The film’s teaser and trailer have already highlighted its high production values, further fueling audience excitement.
In a surprising revelation, director Prithviraj Sukumaran disclosed that both he and Mohanlal opted out of taking any remuneration, ensuring that the entire budget was dedicated to the film’s production. This decision comes at a time when rising star remunerations in the Malayalam industry are placing financial strain on producers. The duo’s move to prioritize the film’s quality over personal earnings has been widely praised, making L2: Empuraan one of the most talked-about releases of the year.
