The much-anticipated Malayalam film “Empuraan,” starring Mohanlal, is set to premiere on March 27, 2025. In an interview preceding the release, the film’s director, Prithviraj Sukumaran, was queried about whether Fahadh Faasil appears in a minor role within the movie. His response, as witty as ever, was rather unconventional.

As I share my exciting updates with you today, I’m thrilled to confirm that stars like Fahadh Faasil, Tom Cruise, and the legendary Robert De Niro have graciously agreed to appear in brief roles within our film. It’s a dream come true for us!

Setting the record straight about the circulating gossip, Prithviraj clarified that Fahadh Faasil will not be featured in the movie. He further added, “To make it clear, Fahadh (Shanu) is not a part of this film, and I should mention, neither is Tom Cruise.

In the process of finding actors for Lucifer 2, we maintained a list of desired talents right from the beginning. To be honest, there were several well-known performers that I had in mind, and I was fortunate enough to make contact with some truly esteemed actors from Hollywood, the UK, and China’s film industry.

Afterwards, Prithviraj stated, “Of the ten individuals I contacted, nine were open to scheduling a call and were eager to work together on an Indian movie, particularly this specific project. However, when talent agents get involved, they aim to secure the highest possible pay for their actors. Unfortunately, I was quite strict with the budget available for this film.

Prithviraj also revealed that Mohanlal hasn’t taken a single penny as remuneration for the movie.

In the continuation of the Lucifer series, which aims to be a trilogy, Empuraan is poised to take on the role of the second installment. This upcoming film provides a glimpse into the aftermath and shifting political and social climate that was established at the conclusion of the initial storyline by Stephen Nedumpally.

In the upcoming sequel, we’ll see the protagonist going back to his native land. The film promises to delve into his background, as well as other intriguing aspects of his life.

In the main part is Mohanlal, while this movie showcases a talented group of actors such as Prithviraj Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, and Indrajith Sukumaran, among others, who play significant roles.
