5 Things You Probably Don't Know About The Movie 'Empuraan'

The highly anticipated movie L2 Empuraan is set to hit the global big screens on March 27, 2025. This movie continues the gripping saga of Lucifer that began in 2019 and promises to escalate the intensity and excitement to new heights.

But what if we told you there’s more to Empuraan than meets the eye? Here are five things you probably didn’t know about the movie that might surprise you,

1. Empuraan is Part of a Larger Trilogy, Not Just a Sequel

One of the most fascinating things about Empuraan is that it is not merely a sequel, but part of an ambitious trilogy that will unfold across three films.

While most fans assumed Empuraan was a direct continuation of the story, the film is, in fact, just the second chapter in a much bigger saga.

Writer Murali Gopy confirmed this in an interview, saying that Empuraan sets the stage for an even grander and more epic conclusion.

 Director Prithviraj Sukumaran’s vision of a trilogy ensures that Empuraan will stand as more than just a bridge between the first and final parts of the story but will also have its own identity and cinematic moments to shine.

2. Eriq Ebouaney’s Hidden Character – Is He the Secret Power Behind the Plot?

In every movie, there’s always a hidden character who remains shrouded in mystery until the big reveal. In Empuraan, this hidden character might just be the actor Eriq Ebouaney, who portrays the enigmatic Kabuga.

Early trailers and promotional material have kept his role under wraps, fueling fan speculation. His mannerisms and the aura surrounding his character have led many to believe that he could be a pivotal part of the story, perhaps even the mysterious force driving certain events.

Fans initially speculated that the role could be played by Fahad Faasil or Mammootty, two powerhouse actors who have often been linked with major characters in Malayalam cinema.

However, Prithviraj Sukumaran denied these rumors, confirming that Empuraan would take audiences in a direction they did not anticipate.

3. Suraj Venjaramoodu’s Special Appearance – A Request That Made It Happen

Another fascinating tidbit about Empuraan involves veteran actor Suraj Venjaramoodu. Known for his remarkable versatility, Suraj has been a fan-favorite for years, and his addition to the Empuraan cast adds an exciting layer of anticipation.

It’s not every day that an actor approaches the director and asks for a role, but that’s exactly what happened here. Prithviraj Sukumaran, who is known for his close rapport with his colleagues, was happy to oblige.

4. The Confirmation of a Third Part – The Saga Continues

While Empuraan is already generating a massive amount of buzz as the sequel to Lucifer, what’s even more exciting is the confirmed third installment of this saga.

The trilogy was always intended to unfold over three films, and Murali Gopy, the writer, confirmed in interviews that the epic will indeed conclude with a third chapter.

The announcement of a third film also means that Empuraan is not just a bridge between Lucifer and the final part of the trilogy but a key piece in an intricately woven narrative.

5. The Star-Studded Cast that Elevates Empuraan’s Narrative

At the heart of Empuraan is its stellar ensemble cast, which is undoubtedly one of the most exciting aspects of the film. With iconic talents like Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, and Manju Warrier, among others, the film brings together some of the finest actors from around the globe, each contributing their unique flair to the narrative.

The chemistry between these actors promises to be one of the film’s defining aspects, Mohanlal, who reprises his role as Khureshi Ab’raam, brings an unmatched gravitas to the screen, while Prithviraj, who not only directs but also plays a central role as Zayed Masood, will have something to unwind.

Tovino Thomas, known for his magnificent performance as Jathin Ramdas, and Manju Warrier as Priyadarshini Ramdas will also add a trifle to this big-budget movie, along with the international star Jerome Flynn and others.
