Back in January, Mohanlal heaped praise on Prithviraj Sukumaran, calling him a “sensitive director”. The Malayalam superstar, in an interaction with news agency PTI, said, “He is very good. This is my third film with him. Bro Daddy was a different film from Lucifer. He knows what he is doing, he is very keen on scripting. He is a sensitive director. He will give more importance to acting and is totally into the film.”

Mohanlal added, “This film demands action. I have done so many action movies, there is a different kind of action in them. It is a trilogy and we have one more chapter to come. We have not shot for it. It will take some time."

Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran have previously worked together in Lucifer (2019) and Bro Daddy (2022). 

L2: Empuraan is produced by Aashirvad Cinemas.
