The OTT release announcement was made on social media by none other than the movie’s lead actor, Mohanlal. L2: Empuraan went through several difficulties even before its theatrical release. At one point, differences between the two production houses involved in the project, Lyca Productions and Aashirvad Cinemas, threatened to delay the release.
However, everything eventually worked out when Sree Gokulam Movies stepped in. But the controversies didn’t end after the theatrical release.
Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan was criticized for excessive violence and its depiction of certain historical events. As a result, the movie was edited to remove some of those portions, and a revised version was released in theatres nearly five days after its initial run began. It is expected that this edited version will be the one released on OTT.

L2: Empuraan Plot:
As the sequel to Lucifer, L2: Empuraan also includes elements of Kerala politics. However, the film is not solely focused on Kerala’s domestic political landscape. It has been five years since the events of Lucifer. Mohanlal’s character has left the state, and neither the citizens nor the political class, including his brother and sister, know where he is.
Tovino Thomas’ character now has an iron grip on power in the state, with allegations of corruption surrounding him. He is becoming increasingly dictatorial, and even members of his own party are turning against him. On the other hand, Prithviraj Sukumaran’s character, his motivations, how he became the right-hand man of Mohanlal’s character, and other aspects are explored further in this film.
