Empuraan: Did You Know Prithviraj Sukumaran Bought A Flat In Kochi JUST For Production of Lucifer? Read HERE

Prithviraj Sukumaran Isn't The First Director For Lucifer: With sensational worldwide advance bookings touching over Rs 59 Crore for opening day, Mohanlal-starrer political action-thriller directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, Empuraan, is going to open on a humongous scale worldwide on March 27. The actor-director along with Mohanlal is touring major cities of the country to promote Lucifer 2 Empuraan which is going to be released in multiple languages.

According to the latest update that is going viral, Lucifer is not supposedly the movie which was conceived by Murali Gopy under the title. He and the late director Rajesh Pillai worked on a story for several years. They also got the title 'Lucifer' registered. The movie was supposed to take off with Mohanlal as the lead but it is entirely a different story from what Prithviraj Sukumaran's Lucifer was.

According to a report on Eenadu, the original story of Lucifer by Rajesh Pillai and Murali Gopy was supposed to take off in 2014 but didn't materialize. Unfortunately, in 2016, Rajesh Pillai succumbed to his health issues. Later, with another plotline which Murali Gopy narrated to Mohanlal during the filming of 'Odiyan,' Prithviraj Sukumaran came on board after wanting to try his hands at direction.

Prithviraj Sukumaran and Murali Gopy then borrowed the title 'Lucifer' and began working on the movie in 2016. The actor-filmmaker then bought a flat exclusively in Kochi for the production of Lucifer.
