Empuraan, the Lucifer series’ 2nd part film, starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. It is the big-budget film from Mollywood, and it is also the craziest film for Malayalam cinema as well. But a film like this is also facing some hurdles. The film is just about two weeks away from its theatrical release, but Empuraan is facing massive hurdles.
The non-theatrical business for this big sequel is yet to be closed, and even the OTT rights and satellite rights are also yet to be sold for the film. As the movie has been made on a massive scale and budget, the makers are quoting higher prices, and OTT platforms have now changed a lot and are doing multiple negotiations for all films.
Business Hurdles for L2: Empuraan
The satellite market went down after the arrival of OTT. With this, Mohanlal’s Empuraan is facing massive hurdles to close the business. Even the music rights of the film are also said to not be sold yet.
The release date is nearing, the team wants to close all the deals before release. Also, coming to the theatrical release, the Lyca Productions banner is one of the producers for this film, and Lyca’s recent films saw big failure results, such as the recent Vidaamuyarchi.
So, there might be some financial issues from Lyca’s side to Luficer’s 2nd part, and they need to get resolved as soon as possible, because Empuraan is a pan-India film, and it needs to be released in all languages.
All these hurdles need to be passed by Empuraan very quickly to get a smooth and big release. The team is confident of releasing the film on 27th March as per plan, and it does not want to change the release at any cost.
