On May 21, 2024, Mohanlal’s highly anticipated film “L2 Empuraan” unveiled its first look poster. The occasion was doubly special as it coincided with the veteran actor’s 64th birthday.
The poster, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, has created a buzz among fans and is now trending on social media. Interestingly, fans are drawing comparisons with “Lucifer,” the franchise’s first installment released in 2019, and analyzing Mohanlal’s appearance.
Comparing “L2 Empuraan” with “Lucifer”
The recently released “L2 Empuraan” poster features Mohanlal in his Khureshi Abraam avatar. Fans are meticulously comparing this look with his portrayal of Stephen Nedumpally in the prequel, “Lucifer.” In the original film, Mohanlal donned an all-white ensemble. However, his darker alter ego, Khureshi Abraam, emerged in the climactic scenes, clad in an all-black outfit with distinctive Dita grandmaster sunglasses.
