L2: Empuraan Leaked Online Hours After Theatrical Release Despite Massive Hype

The highly anticipated Malayalam film L2: Empuraan, featuring Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Tovino Thomas, premiered in theaters on March 27, 2025. Unfortunately, within just a few hours, the film was leaked online. Pirated copies appeared on platforms such as Filmyzilla, Movierulez, Telegram, and Tamilrockers.

A Sequel to the 2019 Hit ‘Lucifer’

L2: Empuraan follows the storyline of the 2019 blockbuster Lucifer. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film is backed by producers Antony Perumbavoor and Gokulam Gopalan, under the banners Aashirvad Cinemas Pvt Ltd and Sree Gokulam Movies. Early reviews suggest the film has been well received.

Strong Box Office Despite Leak

The movie had already created a major buzz, with advance bookings surpassing ₹60 crore worldwide. On its opening day, it earned around ₹5 crore in India, showing a promising start at the box office despite the piracy issue.

Piracy Continues to Threaten the Film Industry

The leak is a reminder of the ongoing piracy challenges facing filmmakers. Producers and actors continue urging the public to support movies through official channels. Pirated content harms revenue and disrespects the effort that goes into film production.

Box Office Clash with Sikandar

L2: Empuraan is expected to compete with another big release, Sikandar, which is scheduled for release on March 30. Even with the leak, strong advance sales and audience support suggest Empuraan will remain a box office success.
