Prithviraj Sukumaran’s third directorial venture L2: Empuraan is arguably one of the most anticipated films in India right now. Therefore, every instance when the makers unveil any news, pictures, or videos associated with the forthcoming movie, film audiences get highly excited and go into a frenzy, rapidly sharing their thoughts, likely release dates, and conjectures concerning the film.

Now, two weeks after Prithviraj shared a photo of himself on a location scout in London, production company Aashirvad Cinemas has shared a video showing the director, along with producer Antony Perumbavoor, checking out possible locales for the big-budget film.

In the video, Prithviraj can be seen standing inside a building near a runway while explaining to those accompanying him how he is planning the shoot there. In another instance in the video, the actor-director, along with Antony Perumbavoor, is seen holding talks with a group of people. According to reports, the shooting for the film is likely to begin in August this year.

Sharing the video on Twitter, producer Antony Perumbavoor said: “#L2E EMPURAAN gaining momentum.”

Ever since the core team of the film, comprising actor Mohanlal and screenwriter Murali Gopy apart from Prithviraj and Antony, announced L2: Empuraan, a sequel to the 2019 political action thriller film Lucifer, there has been much hype around it. Lucifer, which grossed around Rs 200 crore at the box office, is one of the greatest successes in Malayalam film history. Furthermore, the movie was remade in Telugu with Chiranjeevi, Nayanthara, and Salman Khan portraying the same characters that were played by Mohanlal, Manju Warrier, and Prithviraj, respectively, in the original Malayalam version.

Just like Lucifer, L2: Empuraan will also feature an ensemble cast comprising Manju Warrier, Tovino Thomas and Indrajith Sukumaran among others.
