L2 Empuraan: The movie Empuraan is now leading to discussion across the country. There are scenes where the Gujarat riots, Narendra Modi, and Amit Shah are countered. The names of the Sangh Parivar have also been used. This has led to a lot of criticism on the director Prithviraj, the producers, and the hero Mohanlal. Finally, Mohanlal apologized and stepped aside. Everyone is saying that he countered North politics by saying that it was Kerala politics.
It is known that Mohanlal’s film Empuraan has been tinged with political hues. Some people are criticizing that some scenes of the Gujarat riots are objectionable. The use of the name Bajrangi and counterattacks on the BJP has apparently increased the controversy. With this, everyone is thinking that ED searches are being conducted at the house and office of Empuraan producer Gokulam Gopalan.
It seems that the ED is conducting searches at the chit fund company of Gokulam Gopalan, one of the producers of Empuraan. Netizens are saying that all this is the Empuraan movie effect.
Even though Prithviraj Sukumaran’s making was good, many people objected to the shooting. Many people commented on social media that he shot scenes with a lot of violence and that they could not watch them. It is known that he also received criticism that he made this movie with a political agenda. Mohanlal recently responded to this controversy and apologized.
I learned that some of the political and social themes that have been incorporated into the film ‘Empuran’, the second installment of the ‘Lucifer’ franchise, have caused great distress to many of my loved ones. As an artist, it is my duty to ensure that none of my films harbor hatred towards any political movement, ideology, or religious group. Therefore, the Empuran team and I sincerely regret the emotional distress caused to my loved ones. And with the realization that the responsibility for it lies with all of us who worked behind the film, we have decided together to remove such topics from the film. I have lived my film career as one of you for the last four decades. Your love and trust are my only strength. I believe that there is no Mohanlal greater than that.
With love, Mohanlal
