Empuraan as the culprit contributing to this predicament.
Suresh Kumar blames L2: Empuraan for CBFC row
During an interview with Manorama Online, the seasoned producer pointed out that the movie “Empuraan” caused a stir with the Censor Board. He explained, “The film needed revisions due to the controversy, which made the censor board more watchful. This is where the issue originated; it all started from there.
It’s worth noting that despite Suresh Gopi discussing the movie L2: Empuraan in Parliament, he hasn’t made any public comments regarding his own film.
Janaki vs State of Kerala controversy
For those not already aware, the forthcoming Malayalam film titled “Janaki vs State of Kerala” has found itself entangled in a legal dispute concerning the employment of the name “Janaki” within its title.
Originally planned for release on June 27, 2025, the movie faced a roadblock when the film board declined certification due to an issue with the main character’s name. This set off a series of legal complications that have now been resolved.
Recently, the CBFC communicated to the High Court of Kerala that if alterations were made to the film’s title, such as ‘Janaki VS State of Kerala’ or ‘VS Janaki and State of Kerala,’ they would grant their approval for its certification.
Furthermore, they plan to silence the character’s name during a courtroom scene in the movie featuring Suresh Gopi. It appears that the filmmakers have consented to this change, and a fresh release date will be announced shortly.
In this film, which is helmed by Pravin Narayanan, Anupama Parameswaran takes center stage as the main actress, while Madhav Suresh, son of Gopi, appears in a secondary role.
What happened with L2: Empuraan?
As a devoted fan, I recall the controversy surrounding the release of L2: Empuraan, starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran in 2019. The movie, which was Lucifer’s sequel, encountered resistance from certain religious groups due to its content, specifically elements that were perceived as offensive to a specific community. This led to a significant discussion among influential figures about the film’s censorship, causing quite a stir in the industry.
