Amid the buzz surrounding the second installment, Lucifer is joining the re-release bandwagon. Coincidentally, the re-release is scheduled for March 20, just a week before the sequel’s debut.

For the uninitiated, Lucifer set a benchmark in Malayalam cinema, becoming the first film of its kind to cross the Rs 200 crore mark at the box office. It also remains the sixth highest-grossing Malayalam film to date.

In this movie, Prithviraj Sukumaran made his first attempt at directing; he also directed the sequel and played a significant part in both parts of the series.

Running side by side in cinemas, it’s intriguing to observe how these two movies resonate with viewers.

In terms of the upcoming sequel, L2: Empuraan, we’ll find ourselves picking up exactly where Lucifer ended, carrying on with the suspenseful cliffhanger it left behind.

Moreover, as confirmed by the director himself, the sequel will delve deeper into the backgrounds of key characters, including Stephen Nedumpally (played by Mohanlal), Zayed Masood (played by Prithviraj Sukumaran), and Jithin Das (played by Tovino Thomas).

Meanwhile, rumors about L2: Empuraan facing a release delay had been circulating online. However, the makers dismissed the speculation and reaffirmed that the film will hit the big screens as scheduled on March 27.
