Sreeram Calls 'L2: Empuraan A Comedy' In The Now Deleted Tweet
PC Sreeram
posted "Empuraan on OTT is a comedy.” The comment did not go well with
netizens, triggering criticism across social media.
A few weeks
ago, cinematographer PC Sreeram urged director-actor Prithviraj
Sukumaran not to make edits despite mounting pressure from
right-wing groups.
Applauding
the director-actor for showing the “truth” in the film, he said, “Truth
threatens, thus Empuraan stands tall.
The film
landed in controversy for its portrayal of communal violence, which is said to
be a recreation of the Gujarat 2002 riots. Terming the depiction ‘anti-Hindu’,
several right-wing groups threatened to boycott the film.
Directed by
Prithviraj Sukumaran, L2: Empuraan is a political action drama produced by Lyca
Productions, Aashirvad Cinemas, and Sree Gokulam Movies, the film is available
to stream in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
Several
users expressed their displeasure, stating that they did not expect such a
critical comment from a respected personality like Sreeram. He soon deleted the
tweet.
Mrunal Thakur ( Sita Ramam) has finished her look test
for Allu Arjun- Atlee film. Already Deepika Padukone and Jhanvi Kapoor are in
talks and only agreement papers need to be signed. BoxOfficeWorldwide Verdict
Internal
trade buzz indicates a possible release in late 2025, perhaps over the festive
season, and an extensive campaign across the country.
Given the
current high-water mark of Jawan‘s ₹1100+ crore worldwide, trade
insiders will be watching this venture closely. If the female cast is
quickly locked, as expected, and the film fulfils Atlee’s claim of delivering
white-knuckle drama, this could be expected to aim to outdo Jawan.
Also, the
movie is a massive shift for Mrunal Thakur, and it could take
her into the big league of commercial actresses. Her fan base continues to
expand, and this mainstream actioner could prove a key that unlocks a
whole new audience for her.
