The Most Anticipated Sequel
After a breathtaking prequel, L2: Empuraan comes with the weight of high expectations from the audiences, and even if some overshoot, achieving this objective should be paramount. With this film, it is not only about achieving the standards set by Lucifer but rather transforming the universe to something much larger than life.
After all, there is no doubt the film is in safe hands with Prithviraj Sukumaran returning to the director’s chair alongside Murali Gopy working on the screenplay. If Lucifer was a storm, L2: Empuraan could be the hurricane waiting to reshape the Malayalam film industry.
The Stellar Cast
The heart of L2: Empuraan is centered on the ensemble cast that reads like a wish list of the best of Malayalam cinema. The most prominent name in Malayalam cinema, Mohanlal, returns to his mysterious character.
He played a role in Lucifer and if we go by the title of the sequel (which is what Empuraan means), he had a perfect combination of wit, power, and mystery blended into it. Tovino Thomas, one of the most versatile actors of this generation, is stepping back into the spotlight.
His character in Lucifer earned him a lot of appreciation, and it is expected that this film will take his character arc to new heights. Indrajith Sukumaran, who only gets better with each performance, will undoubtedly intensify things more than they already are on the screen.
Direction
Prithvi Raj takes over the directorship of this magnum opus as well as a leading role in the production. He is well known for his strong commercial yet unique artistic style and makes sure that L2: Empuraan will be a tackled intelligently while being a power packed cinematic affair.
Plot

The story is infused with potent depth and flabbergasting intrigue by Manju Warrier, who seems to be the most captivating character. Having always played strong multi-faceted roles, this film should make her shine once again and give her the necessary attention that she deserves.
Visuals of L2: Empuraan
Prithviraj’s execution of high order and ambitious storytelling in Malayalam cinema using grand visual aesthetics in Lucifer made sure that L2: Empuraun pays full attention to imagery. That is an area people anticipate the movie will accomplish to even a higher degree.
Production
The film is produced by Antony Perumbavoor, Vijay Kirgandur, and Supriya Menon under the banners Aashirvad Cinemas, Hombale Films and Prithviraj Productions. With such a powerful production backing expect nothing, but visually stunning and technically advanced film.
Deepak Dev’s Music
Deepak Dev is once again at the helm of the film’s score so if the stunning background score of Lucifer speaks anything, it is that the L2: Empuraun promises to be a treat to the ears.
Sujith Vaassudev’s Cinematography
It is time for Sujith Vaassudev, the master of capturing every moment in vivid detail, to come back. As always, expect intense drama and intricate action sequences with evocative visuals that will root the audience firmly within the world of the film.
Review
This film has a tightly guarded storyline, but it is safe to assume some aspects based of Lucifer’s foundation. If the theme of Lucifer was power dynamics, then this film should cut deep into the shadows of international politics and conspiracies.
L2: Empuraan suggests that it will be yet another addition to their magnificent collection. The excitement for the film is already high since it is scheduled for launch on March 27th, 2025. This movie is one that will not disappoint any cinephile around the globe.
