All You Need To Know About Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 is gearing up for release, and you might be wondering about Part 1. Some may even consider catching the first film on Ott or googling it. You can’t watch the second part without seeing the first, right? But here’s the twist—Part 2 is actually being released first! While it’s not entirely new for films to show the ending of a story in the first part and then explain how they got there in the sequel, it’s rare for an Indian movie to title itself as ‘Part 2’ when Part 1 hasn’t been released yet.

Veera Dheera Sooran Part 2: Plot

In this action drama, the protagonist appears to be an ordinary family man running a humble provision store. But beneath this façade lies a hidden truth: He is connected to a dangerous crime network.

A new generation has entered the film business, but none of them have managed to achieve the status of a superstar or megastar, although there are some strong contenders for the title. There has been speculation that Mollywood is not going to have any new megastars or superstars. To an extent, that is true because it has been several decades since both of them achieved these titles.

But where are the youngsters with these titles? This question was asked to Mohanlal in an interview with Hindustan Times as part of the promotional activities for his upcoming film L2: Empuraan.

According to Mohanlal, those are just terms given by the audience. Back in his and Mammootty’s generation, actors had the opportunity to complete 400 to 500 films, but he mentioned that he doesn’t know if the newer generation can achieve that.

Promotions for the film are ramping up, with both the director and lead actor giving interviews to several publications. In the end credits of Lucifer, there were clues about L2: Empuraan.

In one promotional interview with Hollywood Reporter India, Prithviraj Sukumaran revealed that L2: Empuraan will have an end-credit sequence like Lucifer. He mentioned this as a request: “I have one request: please stay to watch the end scroll titles of Empuraan. Just like Lucifer, Empuraan will also have an end scroll title.”

Prithviraj emphasized the importance of audiences reading the newspaper clippings and text appearing on the screen, saying, “It’s important to carefully read the news and texts that appear there.” He mentioned that the audience will learn...

What Is The Meaning Of L2: Empuraan?(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Prithviraj Sukumaran’s much-awaited film, L2 Empuraan, has been making waves since it was announced. As the sequel to the blockbuster Lucifer, expectations are sky-high. But beyond the film’s excitement, one question has been on everyone’s mind—what does the word ‘Empuraan’ actually mean? Well, Prithviraj has finally answered it, and the explanation makes the film even more intriguing.

A Title That Signifies Supreme Power

During an interview with The Times of India, Prithviraj Sukumaran explained that Empuraan is a word of great historical and cultural importance. He added that Empuraan means more than a king and less than a god. It is derived from ancient Malayalam and Tamil dialects and primarily refers to someone who is a supreme ruler, an overlord, or an unquestionable authority.

The term was traditionally used to describe powerful kings, emperors, or...

In a recent interview, the actor-director didn’t shy away from acknowledging the privilege that came with his famous surname. “I only got my first film because of my surname. I’m a complete nepo product,” he said, sparking a wave of reactions from fans and critics alike.

Though his father passed away in 1997, before Prithviraj stepped into the film industry, the actor admits that his family name opened doors for him.

Will L2: Empuraan’s Ott Release Face A Delay? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

The booking for Mohanlal‘s L2: Empuraan, which will be released on March 27, 2025, began today, March 21, 2025, at 9 Am. Unlike some major South Indian films, L2: Empuraan has secured strong backing from national multiplex chains. PVR Inox, India’s largest multiplex chain, is actively promoting the film.

This is rare for a South Indian film of this scale, as even big-budget projects starring top names like Vijay and Rajinikanth haven’t received such treatment. This is often due to filmmakers not agreeing to the demands of multiplex chains. However, L2: Empuraan appears to have navigated this challenge successfully.

For South Indian big-budget films, Ott deals are crucial in reducing financial risks. These films typically sell streaming rights before their theatrical release. Recent examples from the Tamil industry include Vijay’s Goat and Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan, both of which finalized Ott deals early,...

Why Did Prithviraj Sukumaran Stepped Down From Directing City Of God?(Photo Credit –Instagram/Prime Video)

Malayalis first knew Prithviraj Sukumaran as an actor before he ventured into directing. He began his acting career in the early 2000s, a natural choice given that both his parents were actors. Entering the industry wasn’t particularly challenging for him, but he only made his directorial debut in 2019 with Lucifer.

However, did you know Lucifer wasn’t the first film he was supposed to direct? In the early 2010s, Prithviraj initially planned to direct City of God (2011), which Lijo Jose Pellissery eventually helmed. He couldn’t go ahead with the project because of a call from legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam, who offered him a role in the Tamil film Raavanan (2010).

This film was unique because it had two versions, one in Tamil, titled Raavanan (2010), and another in Hindi, titled Raavan (2010). While both films had the same director,...

Recently, Lyca Productions has faced a string of flops, including Lal Salaam, Vettaiyan, Indian 2, and Vidaamuyarchi. Looking further back, films like Kaappaan, Darbar, Chandramukhi 2, and even the Bollywood Ram Setu failed at the box office. Given this track record, it’s no surprise that the production house is facing financial troubles.

His directorial debut, Lucifer, was a massive success both commercially and critically. His second film, Bro Daddy, also featured Mohanlal. However, unlike Lucifer, where Prithviraj only had a cameo, he played a more substantial role in Bro Daddy.

Interestingly, Prithviraj Sukumaran originally offered Mohanlal’s role in Bro Daddy to Mammootty. The director himself revealed this during an interview with Galatta Plus while promoting L2: Empuraan, the sequel to Lucifer.

Prithviraj bought the script for Bro Daddy without envisioning anyone in the lead role. He said, “Bro Daddy didn’t come to me as a Mohanlal-Prithviraj film. It actually came to me as just a script during the Covid times.” Sreejith, one of the writers,...

According to Prithviraj, sequels make business sense. When a director creates a highly successful film and decides to expand it into a franchise, the next installment automatically generates more interest among audiences. Streaming platforms, too, are more inclined to invest in such projects due to the success of the previous entry in the franchise.

Prithviraj emphasizes that the creation of film franchises should not be driven solely by commercial interests. According to him, sequels should only be made if the story naturally warrants continuation, though he acknowledges that this is the ideal scenario. He stated,...

According to a source, Priyanka and John Abraham share a few scenes in the movie, and the shooting for those scenes is expected to take place in Hyderabad.

During the teaser launch event for his upcoming directorial, the sequel to Lucifer titled L2: Empuraan, Prithviraj revealed that one of the two production houses backing L2: Empuraan, Lyca Productions, had previously approached him with the idea of making a movie starring Tamil superstar Rajinikanth.

Mohanlal, widely revered as the ‘Complete Actor,’ faced a challenging year in 2024. While he ended 2023 on a high note with the success of Neru in December, his two major releases this year fell short of expectations, failing to impress both critics and audiences alike.

At the start of 2024, his much-anticipated, big-budget collaboration with director Lijo Jose Pellissery, Malaikottai Vaaliban, didn’t resonate with audiences and turned out to be a significant disappointment. Later in the year, after multiple delays and reschedules, his directorial debut, Barroz: Guardian of Treasures, also underperformed at the box office despite Mohanlal playing the lead.

However, there is exciting news on the horizon. According to social media buzz, Antony Perumbavoor’s Aashirvad Cinemas, Mohanlal’s long-time production partner, is gearing up to announce five new films on January 25, 2025. The first project is rumored to be titled Hridayapoorvam, directed by Sathyan Anthikad.
