Director-actor Prithviraj Sukuraman is gearing up for his upcoming political-thriller-drama L2: Empuraan, as he will kickstart the shooting of the film on October 5 with superstar Mohanlal taking the lead role.
A sequel to the director’s film Lucifer, which also marked his directorial debut, L2: Empuraan was officially announced in August 2022. The movie’s shoot was put on hold due to the director suffering from a knee injury which led to a hiatus. Now, Prithviraj Sukumaran is ready to shoot and put his plans on camera.
A relief for fans as Prithviraj Sukumaran took to his social media and gave the update, sharing the news that L2E – Empuraan is going on floors from October with its first official schedule, on Saturday. The actor-filmmaker also welcomed on board the Tamil production company Lyca Productions, marking their debut in the Malayalam cinema with this high-budget picture. Lyca Productions is the banner behind Ponniyin Selvan: I, Ponniyin Selvan: II, the upcoming action drama Indian 2 and the newly released Chandramukhi 2 amongst others.
Dropping a visual treat for his fans, Prithviraj Sukumaran took to Instagram and wrote: “#L2E - Empuraan. It’s an honour for the ‘L’ team to welcome #LycaProductions to the Malayalam Cinema industry. Jointly produced by #AashirvadCinemas and #LycaProductions, the 2nd instalment of the #LUCIFER franchise starts rolling from 5th Oct 2023. #L2E – Empuraan.”
