The makers recently confirmed that the Lucifer series will be a trilogy, with Empuraan paving the way for a grand conclusion in the third installment. This revelation has amplified excitement among fans, as the sequel promises a thrilling cliffhanger, leaving viewers eager for the final chapter.
With a massive budget, Empuraan is being touted as the most expensive film in Malayalam cinema to date. The teaser, which showcases breathtaking visuals and scale, has already captured the imagination of audiences, hinting at the film’s potential to redefine benchmarks in Mollywood.
The first target for Empuraan will undoubtedly be the ₹100 crore mark in Kerala, a feat yet to be achieved. Currently, the highest-grossing Malayalam film in Kerala is 2018, with ₹89 crore. With its grand scale and strong positive buzz, Empuraan is poised to surpass this milestone and create new records.
The film’s pan-India release, including a Telugu version, could also work in its favor. While many Telugu audiences may not have watched Lucifer, they are familiar with Godfather, its Telugu remake. This connection could help Empuraan gain traction in the Telugu market, expanding its reach further.As the release date approaches, Empuraan is undoubtedly shaping up to be a landmark film in Indian cinema, promising to elevate Malayalam cinema to new heights.
