The accompanying caption not only extends birthday wishes to the actor but also provides a glimpse into the enigmatic role that Prithviraj will portray in the film. “Happy birthday General! Forsaken by God…nurtured by the DEVIL! #ZayedMasood The Emperor’s General,” the makers penned with intrigue.
Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran himself and scripted by Murali Gopy, the Malayalam thriller marks the second installment of a trilogy following the success of the 2019 film, Lucifer. Jointly produced by Lyca Productions and Aashirvad Cinemas, the project boasts a stellar cast including industry stalwarts like Mohanlal, Tovino Thomas, Indrajith Sukumaran, Manju Warrier, and many more.
With a staggering budget of approximately Rs. 400 crores, L2: Empuraan is poised to set new benchmarks in the realm of sequels.
