About Abhimanyu's character

Speaking about his character, Abhimanyu told IANS, “I play Balraj in Empuraan: Lucifer 2. Balraj is a really complex character. He is not just one thing. There are many layers to him. And that made playing him so interesting. As the story goes on, his character goes through a huge transformation. That shift in his character was something I really enjoyed working on."

About L2: Empuraan

Film L2:Empuraan is the sequel to the 2019 superhit film Lucifer starring Mohanlal, Manju Warrier and Tovino Thomas. For the sequel, slated to release on March 27, 2025 Mohanlal reunites with actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, who will be directing the film. The star cast also includes Game of Thrones actor Jerome Flynn.

While speaking about his upcoming film and reunion with Prithviraj, Mohanlal told PTI, “He is very good. This is my third film with him. Bro Daddy was a different film from Lucifer.

“This film demands action. I’ve done so many action movies, there is a different kind of action in it. It’s a trilogy and we’ve one more chapter to come. We haven’t shot for it. It will take some time," he added.
