One of the most anticipated Malayalam films of the year, L2: Empuraan, is finally making its way to OTT screens! After an exceptional box office run and intense public discourse, the political action-thriller will begin streaming on JioCinema (JioHotstar) starting April 24, 2025.
Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and headlined by the legendary Mohanlal, Empuraan is not just another sequel—it’s a cinematic explosion that deepens the narrative of Lucifer (2019), building on the mysterious, powerful character of Stephen Nedumpally.
🔥 The Plot: Power, Politics & a Shadowy Empire
L2: Empuraan serves as the second installment in the planned Lucifer trilogy. It picks up the threads of the first film, delving deeper into the underworld of Stephen Nedumpally, a man whose political façade hides a far more dangerous identity. The film explores themes of power, legacy, global crime networks, and political manipulation, expanding its scope far beyond Indian borders.
Where Lucifer scratched the surface, Empuraan dives deep. It offers answers about Nedumpally’s transformation into the enigmatic figure Khureshi-Ab’Ram and sets the stage for a thrilling finale in the next part of the series.
🎭 Star-Studded Cast
The film features a powerhouse ensemble cast:
- Mohanlal as Stephen Nedumpally / Khureshi-Ab’Ram
- Prithviraj Sukumaran in a prominent role, along with directing duties
- Manju Warrier as Priyadarshini Ramdas, a key political figure
- Tovino Thomas adds youthful energy and depth to the storyline
- Suraj Venjaramoodu, known for his intense performances
- Jerome Flynn, internationally recognized for Game of Thrones, joins the cast, giving the film global flavor
Each actor brings gravitas and nuance to a story layered with deception, loyalty, and ambition.
💰 Box Office Storm
Empuraan stormed into theatres and raked in over ₹100 crore at the Indian box office within just 15 days—an extraordinary feat for a regional language film. It has proven to be a pan-India success, drawing audiences from across the country and even overseas.
📺 When & Where to Watch

L2: Empuraan will be available for streaming from April 24, 2025, exclusively on JioCinema (JioHotstar).
