L2 Empuraan: Did Director Confirm Lyca’s Exit?

Mohanlal’s Empuraan, touted as the biggest-budget film in Mollywood, faced hurdles due to producer disputes but is now back on track.

Initially, differences between producers Lyca Productions and Aashirwad Cinemas had put the March 27 release in jeopardy.

Lyca reportedly demanded their investment with interest, which Aashirwad Cinemas struggled to repay after recent setbacks.

To resolve the crisis, Aashirwad Cinemas sought help from other production houses, and Gokulam Movies stepped in to settle the issue. With Gokulam’s involvement, Empuraan is now confirmed for its planned release date.

Director Prithviraj Sukumaran confirmed on social media that Gokulam Movies had stepped in to support Empuraan’s release. He thanked Gokulam Movies for their trust in the project.

Prithviraj excluded Lyca Productions from his post. This gesture strongly indicated Lyca’s exit from the film. By acknowledging Gokulam Movies and ignoring Lyca, Prithviraj subtly confirmed the shift in the production houses.

With the production hurdles cleared, Empuraan’s team is now set to ramp up promotions, and fresh updates are expected soon. Fans can now expect the highly anticipated sequel to Lucifer to hit theaters as scheduled on March 27, 2025.
