Mohanlal's First Look Poster From L2 Empuraan Unveiled On His Birthday

Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is celebrating his 64th birthday today, May 21. The veteran actor has established a special position in the hearts of the masses, thanks to his incredible performances. Mohanlal’s last screen appearance was in Malaikottai Vaaliban, released in January. But the Malayalam star seems to be in no mood to take a break. He has been signing up for back-to-back projects. On this special occasion, the makers of his upcoming film L2: Empuraan have unveiled a new poster of the action-thriller. It features the Drishyam alum in his much-anticipated character of Khureshi Abraam.

L2: Empuraan’s poster captured Mohanlal in a stylish all-black avatar. He donned a T-shirt, layered it with a leather jacket and completed his suave look with matching trousers. A salt-and-pepper hairdo and beard, coupled with orange-tinted aviator sunglasses sealed his grim vibe. Mohanlal sported an intense expression as he walked amidst a group of bodyguards, all suited up for some action. Although they carried guns in their hands, Mohanlal had zero weapons, underlining his power and authority.

The poster also revealed that L2: Empuraan will be released in five languages — Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi. Mohanlal also shared the poster on his Instagram handle.

Fans of the Malayalam actor expressed their excitement for Mohanlal’s forthcoming cinematic marvel. Reacting to the poster release one individual commented, “Let’s meet the Devil”. Another found his new look to be simply on “Fire”. “It’s time for vengeance” highlighted a movie enthusiast. Others wished Mohanlal a happy birthday.

L2: Empuraan is the sequel to Mohanlal’s 2019 blockbuster Lucifer. It is the second installment of the planned trilogy, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. Earlier, in an interaction with Film Companion, the director revealed that Mohanlal will portray an unconventional role in the film, unlike his action-oriented stints. “You are not going to see Mohanlal wind up as mund and beat up people in a closed-down factory, that is not what I’m making. Maybe I’ll do one of those Bollywood-ish end title songs,” he confirmed.

L2: Empuraan also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran himself, alongside Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, Sachin Khedekar, Saniya Iyappan, Fazil, and Indrajith Sukumaran in key roles. The film is expected to premiere theatrically sometime in 2025.
