The Ruthless Legacy of “Lucifer”
‘Lucifer’ was an absolute revolutionary pillar to Malayalam cinema. It framed a strong narrative with tons of impressive action, spine-chilling mystery and politics, all led by the unparalleled performance from Mohanlal.
This movie was Lucifers motion picture and the first time Prithviraj Sukumaran tried his hand into direction. With incredible skills like compelling Murali Gopy scripts and stunning cinematography alongside goosebump background score, Lucifer was truly a breathtaking spectacle.
Set to 2025, Empuraan will be released to let us know what happened after the epic Lucifer climax. The best part, the stakes are now multiplied, the mystery deeper and action unbearably epic.
Plot

The term Empuraan alone is enough to capture the attention of movie enthusiasts. This word comes from Malayalam and describes someone who is of higher rank than a king but lower than a god.
The name itself hints at persona, authority and holds a hint of mystery. And whether it is a character, a philosophy, or something completely different, is a puzzle.
A Star-Studded Cast
Mohanlal is undoubtedly the pillar of L2: Empuraan. His commanding screen presence, intensity, and effortless acting makes him the heart and soul of Empuraan. Along with performing, Prithviraj Sukumaran is directing the film and is also appearing on screen. Balancing acting and directing in a single production is not easy, but judging by Lucifer, he knows how to do it in style.
Manju Warrier’s talent and powerful presence make her one of the most intense persons in the film. Tovino Thomas is an exciting actor who has made quite a name for himself in recent times due to his variety of performances. His character in Empuraan brings in youthful charm and curiosity to the plot.
Indrajith Sukumaran is one of the most versatile actors, and with a plethora of distinct roles under his belt he always seems to deliver, and his performance in Empuraan will undoubtably be spectacular.
The Crew of L2: Empuraan
Prithviraj made his directional debut with Lucifer, and it was clear that he has a strong sense of gripping story and action, and grand themes. Now with L2: Empuraan, he is set to take things even further.
Murali Gopy has previously written narratives which are deeply political and packed with power, philosophy and drama, making him the perfect choice to script Empuraan.
If the background score of Lucifer gave you the chills, then the expectation from Deepak Dev this time around is even more shocking. Music increases the impact of a film significantly, and Deepak Dev is ready to turn Empuraan into a musical bombshell.
This scale of film requires astonishing visuals, and for this reason, no one else other than Sujith Vaassudev can do it. With his capability of capturing magnificence in every frame Empuraun, he makes sure that the film will be a visual wonder.
A Pan-Indian Experience
Even though the first part was a blockbuster in Kerala, L2: Empuraan aims to be a genuinely pan-Indian film. It will be available across many languages, including: Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi, to reach a wider audience.
With the superstar status of Mohanlal and the likely themes the film is supposed to deal with, Empuraan can mark it self as a blockbuster in Indian cinema.
Review
Unlike Lucifer which had a Kerala-centric shooting, L2: Empuraan will be shot on a global scale. The crew has already put in the work to search for filming locations in other countries starting from India, countries in the Middle East and even Europe.
The footage by itself, which gave us our first glimpse into a stunning derelict city in Northern Iraq, serves as evidence that Empuraun is pioneering into fresh and stimulating territories.
Release Date
If there is a date that excites the movie buffs throughout the nation, it is definitely March 27, 2025 when L2: Empuraan is set to release in theaters. This date is not just another release date, instead it marks the 6th anniversary of ‘Lucifer’ and is bound to be special as the game changer film has a new chapter due.
With breathless anticipation and the great amount of secrecy surrounding the plot, Empuraan is going to become one of the largest films releasing in 2025.
