The excitement surrounding this film is nothing short of electrifying, with fans eagerly waiting for the first day, first show.
Superstar Mohanlal, who has once again reprised his iconic role as the powerful Khureshi-Ab’raam (Stephen Nedumpally), took to social media to announce the much-awaited release. With the thunderous excitement building up, Mohanlal shared, “The first day, first show of #L2E #Empuraan will start at 6:00 AM IST on the 27th of March 2025. Shows across the world will start at the corresponding time in respective time zones. Stay tuned for further details!” The promise of a global celebration makes it clear that L2E: Empuraan is not just a film but an event that transcends borders.
Directed by the dynamic Prithviraj Sukumaran, L2E: Empuraan picks up where Lucifer left off, continuing the thrilling narrative that captivated audiences across the world. Written by the master storyteller Murali Gopy, the film promises to be an even grander spectacle with intense drama, high-octane action, and unforgettable characters. The movie has been produced under the banners of Lyca Productions, Aashirvad Cinemas, and Sree Gokulam Movies, with Subaskaran, Antony Perumbavoor, and Gokulam Gopalan ensuring that this ambitious project receives the scale it deserves.
The film boasts an ensemble cast that is nothing short of stellar. Mohanlal returns as the indomitable Khureshi-Ab’raam, and joining him is a powerhouse of talent, including Prithviraj Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, and the legendary Jerome Flynn, who is known for his role in Game of Thrones. The secondary cast features a diverse range of actors, including Abhimanyu Singh, Andrea Tivadar, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Indrajith Sukumaran, Manju Warrier, Saniya Iyappan, and many more, ensuring that L2E: Empuraan delivers on every front.
The film’s production journey has been equally grand, with scenes shot in breathtaking locations across the globe—from the scenic hills of Shimla and Leh to the bustling streets of the United Kingdom, the United States, and the UAE. The film has also captured the vibrant landscapes of Chennai, Gujarat, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Kerala, making it a true international cinematic experience. The breathtaking visuals are complemented by the stellar cinematography of Sujith Vaassudev and the expert editing by Akhilesh Mohan, ensuring that every frame is a work of art.
In terms of sound, Deepak Dev returns as the composer for L2E: Empuraan, bringing his signature musical genius to the sequel. With every note resonating with the intensity of the storyline, the music promises to be just as iconic as the film itself. The action sequences, choreographed by Stunt Silva, are set to keep audiences at the edge of their seats, delivering breathtaking stunts that will leave fans in awe.
What makes L2E: Empuraan even more exciting is the promise that it will be accessible to a global audience. The film is set for a multilingual release in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada, ensuring that fans from all over India and beyond can experience the grandeur of the film in their own languages. This multilingual approach is a testament to the film’s universal appeal and its ability to transcend regional barriers.
Prithviraj Sukumaran, who has once again donned the director’s hat for this massive project, shared insights into the film’s structure. He confirmed that while L2E: Empuraan is a direct sequel to Lucifer, it is also designed to stand as a standalone film. “Even if you haven’t watched the first part, you will completely understand the plot, story, and narrative of the second part,” Prithviraj said, ensuring that newcomers to the franchise can jump right in without any confusion. However, for the loyal fans of Lucifer, there will be moments that evoke fond memories, with certain dialogues and sequences that tie back to the first part. Prithviraj is hopeful that these nostalgic moments will entice viewers to revisit Lucifer and experience the first chapter once again.
The stakes are high, and expectations have never been greater. Lucifer shattered records upon its release in 2019, grossing over Rs 200 crore and becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever. With L2E: Empuraan poised to take the baton from its predecessor, the pressure is immense. However, with the talent involved, the world-class production values, and the sheer scale of the narrative, L2E: Empuraan is set to deliver a cinematic experience like no other.
As the world counts down the hours to the release of L2E: Empuraan, fans across the globe are ready to witness the thunderbolt of a film that will leave an indelible mark on cinema. The excitement is palpable, the anticipation is sky-high, and lets hope L2E: Empuraan will make its thunderous entry into the world stage!
