The controversial film “L2: Empuraan” has stirred debates over certain political sequences but continues to perform exceptionally well at the box office in Kerala and global markets. While the film struggled in Telugu and other languages, the Malayalam version remains a crowd-puller.
Following backlash, Mohanlal publicly apologized for the contentious scenes, prompting the filmmakers to rework and resubmit the film for censorship.
Now, director Prithviraj Sukumaran has dropped a major revelation regarding “L3,” the anticipated third installment. The climax of “L2” featured glimpses of Mohanlal’s character, Stephen, hinting at a storyline set in his younger days in Mumbai. Many assumed the younger version of Stephen would be created using visual effects.
However, Prithviraj has now confirmed that Mohanlal’s son, Pranav Mohanlal, played the role. To mark the announcement, he unveiled a poster featuring Pranav as young Stephen.
Despite this exciting reveal, uncertainty looms over “L3” due to the ongoing controversy. The backlash, particularly from BJP circles, has put both Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran in a tough spot. Whether the third film will move forward remains to be seen.
