The film is a joint production by Aashirvad Cinemas and Lyca Productions, the latter making its debut in Malayalam cinema with this venture.

Fans can look forward to the return of Mohanlal in his iconic dual roles as the enigmatic Khureshi-Ab’raam and Stephen Nedumpally, with a more profound exploration of his character, a global crime lord embroiled in a web of power struggles.

The sequel promises an even larger scale, with a stellar ensemble cast that includes Prithviraj Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, and Indrajith Sukumaran, all reprising their roles from the original.

The narrative of ‘Lucifer’ was always meant to unfold across three parts, and the success of the first film set the stage for the highly anticipated sequel.

Originally announced in June 2019, ‘Empuraan’ faced production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this gave Murali Gopy the opportunity to further expand the scope of the story.

With the screenplay finalized in 2022 and pre-production kicking off soon after, the film’s journey has been a long one. In 2023, Lyca Productions joined forces with Aashirvad Cinemas to produce the film.

The film’s music, composed by Deepak Dev, is likely to add to the intense atmosphere of the film.
