Empuraan,
the
upcoming
mass
entertainer
will
mark
the
second
collaboration
of
Mohanlal
and
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
the
actor-director
duo.
The
movie,
which
is
a
sequel
to
the
2019
blockbuster
Lucifer,
is
one
of
the
most-awaited
upcoming
projects
of
the
Malayalam
cinema.
Reportedly,
Empuraan
will
start
rolling
by
the
end
of
2021.
In
the
recent
interview
given
to
a
popular
media,
Murali
Gopy,
the
scriptwriter
of
the
project
revealed
that
the
sequel
of
Lucifer
will
only
start
rolling
by
the
end
of
2021.
According
to
Murali,
the
project
which
was
originally
supposed
to
go
on
floors
in
2020,
was
postponed
to
2021
due
to
the
busy
schedules
of
director
Prithviraj
and
lead
actor
Mohanlal.
Murali
Gopy
is
currently
busy
with
the
scripting
of
his
upcoming
writing
ventures
and
is
also
concentrating
on
his
acting
career.
The
writer
is
expected
to
start
the
scripting
of
the
upcoming
Ratish
Ambat
project,
which
features
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
in
the
lead
role
very
soon.
The
writer
will
begin
the
scripting
of
Empuraan
only
after
completing
his
current
projects.
Prithviraj,
the
director
of
Empuraan
had
confirmed
that
he
and
writer
Murali
Gopy
have
already
finalised
the
storyline
of
the
Mohanlal
starrer.
The
actor-director
also
revealed
that
the
project
will
start
rolling
exactly
after
six
months
from
the
day
Murali
hand
over
the
full
bound
script.
According
to
Prithviraj,
part
2
of
Lucifer
will
be
made
in
a
larger
canvas
and
demands
more
time
and
effort
while
compared
to
the
original.
Empuraan
is
said
to
be
both
a
prequel
and
sequel
to
Lucifer,
as
it
narrates
both
the
past
and
future
of
Mohanlal's
character
Stephen
Nedumpilly
aka
Khureshi
Ab'Ram.
Reportedly,
several
popular
actors
from
the
Malayalam,
Bollywood,
and
Tamil,
film
industries
have
been
considered
to
play
the
pivotal
roles
in
Empuraan,
along
with
the
original
cast.
The
project
is
bankrolled
by
Antony
Perumbavoor
for
Aashirvad
Cinemas.
