The film, shot in an anamorphic format with a 1:2.8 aspect ratio, promises a visually immersive experience, making IMAX the perfect platform for its larger-than-life storytelling. Fans can expect an intense cinematic spectacle as Mohanlal reprises his powerful role as Khureshi-Ab’raam, aka Stephen Nedumpally.
Apart from Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film boasts a stellar cast, including Tovino Thomas, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Manju Warrier in key roles. Adding to the excitement, Game of Thrones star Jerome Flynn is making his Indian cinema debut with this massive project.
Produced by Lyca Subaskaran, Antony Perumbavoor, and Gokulam Gopalan, L2E: Empuraan is set to release worldwide in multiple languages. In the Telugu states, the film will be distributed by Dil Raju’s SVC Cinemas.
With IMAX onboard and a global release planned, L2E: Empuraan is set to be a game-changer for Malayalam cinema, taking it to new heights on the international stage.
