The controversy over L2: Empuraan has grown, with director Prithviraj’s mother Mallika Sukumaran defending her son following accusations of betrayal. Mallika firmly rejected accusations that Prithviraj had betrayed Mohanlal or co-producer Antony Perumbavoor, claiming that all the scenes were filmed with their complete knowledge and consent.
Mallika highlighted that Mohanlal played a contributing role in the production process, refuting claims of unauthorized script alterations. The movie has also attracted a lot of controversy for the way it depicts communal violence, which has resulted in protests and demands for cuts.
As a result, Mohanlal regrets the upset caused by some of the scenes and proposed removing objectionable material. This action, however, has raised questions over possible tensions within the team.
Major Ravi’s derogatory comments against Prithviraj have only made things worse, making Mallika wonder what he is up to and accusing him of targeting her son unfairly.
As events unfold, Mallika’s vociferous defense stirs many issues of accountability and the internal dynamics of the film industry.
As the cuts are made, the controversy goes on to increasingly polarize audiences and political parties, with many questioning whether Prithviraj is being unfairly victimized in a tangled web of controversy.
