Empuraan,
the
Mohanlal-Prithviraj
project
which
is
a
sequel
to
the
2019-released
Lucifer,
is
one
of
the
most-awaited
upcoming
projects
of
Malayalam
cinema.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
popular
online
media,
director
Prithviraj
revealed
some
interesting
details
about
the
Mohanlal
starrer.
According
to
the
filmmaker,
Empuraan
demands
more
effort
than
Lucifer.
The
actor-director
stated
that
both
he
and
writer
Murali
Gopy
have
a
clear
idea
about
the
core
plot
of
Empuraan.
However,
Murali
is
yet
to
begin
the
scripting
of
the
project,
as
he
is
currently
busy
with
the
writing
of
the
upcoming
Ratheesh
Ambat
directorial,
which
features
Prithviraj
in
the
lead
role.
Empuraan
will
only
start
rolling
after
the
leading
man
Mohanlal
and
director
Prithviraj
wrap
up
their
current
commitments.
The
director,
who
also
reprises
his
role
from
Lucifer
in
Empuraan,
confirmed
that
he
is
planning
to
kickstart
the
Mohanlal
project
after
six
months
from
the
day
he
receives
the
full-bound
script.
Empuraan
is
expected
to
revolve
around
the
untold
story
of
protagonist
Stephen
Nedumpally,
played
by
Mohanlal,
and
his
secret
life
as
Khureshi
Ab'Ram.
Director
Prithviraj
has
also
confirmed
that
he
has
more
screen
time
in
Empuraan.
The
Lucifer
sequel
is
expected
to
reveal
more
about
his
character
Zayed
Masood,
the
most
trusted
person
in
Khureshi's
life.
As
per
sources
close
to
the
project,
some
of
the
prominent
faces
from
the
original
star
cast
are
expected
to
reprise
their
roles
in
Empuraan.
The
most-loved
characters
from
Lucifer,
including
Sachin
Kedekar's
PK
Ramdas,
Indrajith's
Govardhan,
Tovino
Thomas's
Jatin
Ramdas,
Baiju's

to
have
more
dimensions
and

in
the
project.
The
Prithviraj
directorial
is
also
expected
to
have
some
new
additions
to
its
star
cast,
including
some
of
the
most
popular
names
