Empuraan Script Is Locked: Mohanlal-Prithviraj Sukumaran To Make A Major Announcement Soon?

As reported earlier, Prithviraj Sukumaran is planning to kickstart the pre-production works of Empuraan, once he wraps up the shooting of his ambitious project Aadujeevitham. The pre-production works of the Lucifer sequel is expected to begin by mid-2022, after the actor-filmmaker returns from Jordan. Prithviraj and his team are planning to have extensive pre-production, that will last for over 6 months, for the Mohanlal starrer.

In a recent interview, writer Murali Gopy revealed that Lucifer was always planned as a trilogy. The team wanted to make a web series with the theme but later decided to make it into a feature film franchise. According to Prithviraj Sukumaran and Murali Gopy, it is impossible to narrate the entire journey of Mohanlal's character Stephen Nedumpally aka Khuresh Ab'Ram, in a single film.
