L2: Empuraan (transl. Overlord; stylised as L2: E. M. P. U. R. A. A. N – Lucifer 2) is a 2025 Indian Malayalam-language action thriller film directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and written by Murali Gopy. It was jointly produced by Antony Perumbavoor, Gokulam Gopalan, and A. Subaskaran through Aashirvad Cinemas, Sree Gokulam Movies, and Lyca Productions, respectively. It is the second installment in the Lucifer trilogy and follows the events of its prequel Lucifer. The film stars Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Abhimanyu Singh, Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, Andrea Tivadar, Jerome Flynn, Indrajith Sukumaran, Eriq Ebouaney, and Suraj Venjaramoodu.
Lucifer was conceived as a three-film franchise from its inception. The success of the first film led to the decision to proceed with the second instalment in the series. L2: Empuraan was announced in June 2019, and production, originally planned for mid-2020, faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Murali took the opportunity to expand the scale and scope of L2: Empuraan. Although it maintains continuity, the film was conceived as a standalone entry, not requiring viewers to have seen the first film. The screenplay was finalised in July 2022, and pre-production began the following month. Lyca joined in September 2023, marking their venture in Malayalam cinema. In March 2025, Gopalan joined as a co-producer, following financial disputes with Lyca. The film's original soundtrack was composed by Deepak Dev.
Principal photography took place from October 2023 to December 2024, spanning 145 days across sporadic schedules in India, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates. L2: Empuraan was released in theatres worldwide on 27 March 2025 in standard, IMAX, and EPIQ formats, making it the first Malayalam film to be released in IMAX and EPIQ.
