L2 Empuraan: Mohan Lal vengeful as Khureshi Abraam

“L2 Empuraan,” the much-anticipated sequel to the 2019 blockbuster “Lucifer,” is currently in production, building on the immense success of its predecessor. The film marks the third collaboration between Mohanlal and the versatile actor-director Prithviraj Sukumaran, sparking a wave of excitement among fans.

On Mohanlal’s birthday, the makers unveiled his look as Khureshi Abraam, creating a frenzy among his followers. While “Lucifer” introduced Khureshi Abraam towards the end, “L2 Empuraan” will delve deeper into his story, exploring Stephen Nedumpally’s transformation into Khureshi Abraam, alongside present-day sequences. Director Prithviraj Sukumaran took to Instagram to wish Mohanlal a happy birthday, sharing a captivating poster from “L2 Empuraan” with the affectionate message: “Happy Birthday Laletta!”

This heartwarming message, coupled with the reveal of the new poster, has further fueled anticipation for the sequel. The poster showcases Mohanlal’s character, Khureshi Abraam, in a striking new avatar, promising a thrilling cinematic experience. Prithviraj’s heartfelt birthday wish highlights the strong bond between the director and his esteemed co-star, adding an emotional layer to the already eagerly awaited film.

The recently released poster contrasts the two characters: Stephen Nedumpally, dressed in a white shirt and mundu, leading a crowd of supporters towards the Secretariat, represents his political persona. In contrast, Khureshi Abraam, draped in black, hints at his darker, more mysterious side.

The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, Nandu, and Saniya Iyappan, all reprising their roles. A leaked video from the set, featuring Manju’s character at the National Investigation Agency office, suggests grand, action-packed scenes reminiscent of “Lucifer.”

The makers have announced an ambitious release strategy, targeting a 2025 release in five languages: Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. Given the phenomenal success of Malayalam cinema, “L2 Empuraan” has the potential to break box office records, possibly becoming the first Indian film to cross the Rs 500 crore mark.

With its star-studded cast, captivating storyline, and ambitious release plan, “L2 Empuraan” is poised to be a cinematic event that will enthrall audiences worldwide. Fans of Mohanlal are celebrating the occasion as a festival and eagerly await the film’s release to enjoy Mohanlal as Stephen Nedumpally on the big screen once again.
