Mohanlal Foregoes Remuneration for 'L2 Empuraan' to Support Film's Production

Malayalam actor and director Prithviraj Sukumaran is directing the upcoming film L2 Empuraan, which is the sequel to the blockbuster movie Lucifer. Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is playing the lead role, while Manju Warrier and Tovino Thomas are in key roles. The film is set to release on March 27. As part of the promotions, Prithviraj has been actively participating in various interviews. During one such interaction, he made an interesting revelation about Mohanlal’s remuneration for the film.

Prithviraj stated that this film was possible only because of Mohanlal (Lalettan). He shared that Mohanlal worked extremely hard for this project. As a director, Prithviraj constantly considers the producers and believes every rupee spent should have value. He revealed that Mohanlal did not take a single penny as remuneration for ‘L2 Empuraan’. Instead, he let go of his payment to ensure the movie’s production could proceed smoothly.

Prithviraj further explained that Mohanlal’s forgone remuneration was used for the film’s production. He added that this decision made a significant impact, and audiences would understand its value when they see the film. The movie also features Game of Thrones actor Jerome Flynn along with several international artists. Prithviraj expressed gratitude towards these foreign actors for their contributions to the film.
