Empuraan,
the
highly
anticipated
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
directorial
is
all
set
to
go
on
floors
very
soon.
The
project
is
a
sequel
to
Lucifer,
the
Mohanlal-starring
blockbuster
which
marked
Prithviraj's
directorial
debut.
In
a
recent
interaction
with
his
followers
on
Twitter
space,
the
actor-filmmaker
opened
up
about
Empuraan,
which
marks
his
third
collaboration
with
Mohanlal.
When
he
was
asked
about
his
much-awaited
third
directorial
venture,
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
stated:
"I
have
no
claims
to
make,
It
is
just
an
entertainer." The
filmmaker
had
previously
confirmed
that
Empuraan
is
being
made
on
a
larger
scale
when
compared
to
Lucifer.
But,
he
has
also
asked
the
film
fanatics
to
keep
their
expectations
low,
as
it
is
purely
a
commercial
film.
However,
the
cine-goers
feel
that
the
filmmaker
is
trying
to
underplay
it,
in
order
to
not
create
a
false
impression
on
the
film.
Both
the
Mohanlal
fans
and
film
fanatics
are
expecting
nothing
but
a
well-made
sequel
from
director
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
and
writer
Murali
Gopy
when
the
duo
is
teaming
up
for
the
second
time.
As
reported
earlier,
the
script
of
Empuraan
is
locked,
and
the
pre-production
works
of
teh
film
will
kickstart
once
director
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
wraps
up
his
ambitious
project
Aadujeevitham.
According
to
the
actor-filmmaker,
he
is
yet
to
design
the
shooting
pattern
of
the
Mohanlal
starrer
and
is
planning
to
have
a
detailed
discussion
with
Murali
Gopy
on
the
same.
But,
Prithviraj
has
confirmed
that
the
shooting
of
Empuraan
will
start
by
the
beginning
of
2023.
The
Mohanlal
starrer
is
bankrolled
by
Antony
Perumbavoor,
under
the
banner
Aashirvad
Cinemas.
Some
unconfirmed
reports
suggest
that
Dharma
Productions,
the
prestigious
Bollywood
production
banner
headed
by
Karan
Johar
might
co-produce
Empuraan,
thus
making
their
Malayalam
debut.
However,
there
is
no
official
confirmation
on
this
report
yet.
A
major
update
on
the
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
directorial
is
expected
to
be
out
once
the
pre-production
works
begin.
