Chandigarh 20 march 2025 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau): The trailer for the much-awaited sequel to the 2019 Malayalam hit Lucifer, L2: Empuraan, was released on Thursday. It was released ahead of time as the team faced a leak. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, the political action-drama sees Mohanlal return as the mysterious Stephen Nedumpally, aka Khureshi Ab’raam, to save the day.
L2 Empuraan trailer
The 3-minute-50-second trailer shows Khureshi being called on for help even as organisations see him as a threat. Sachin Khedekar’s PK Ramdas begins the trailer by making it clear that his children are not his legacy bearers; his followers are.
Tovino Thomas’ Jathin Ramdas is now leading his party, but there’s constant sabotage at play. Manju Warrier’s Priyadarshini Ramdas also discusses the notion that blood relations cannot hold more value over human life. Khureshi is asked to return to save ‘God’s own country’.
But unlike Lucifer, L2 Empuraan seems to delve more deeply into Khureshi’s life and the organisation he’s a part of. Even if it takes us to Turkey, London, France, Yemen and several other places, the trailer still ends with the question – Who is Stephen Nedumpally really? The trailer seems to hint that the question will be answered this time around.
Summary: Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan trailer showcases his powerful return to protect Kerala. Industry legends Rajinikanth, SS Rajamouli, and Ram Gopal Varma hail the film’s grandeur.
