Mohanlal Charged ZERO for L2: Empuraan – Prithviraj Reveals!

Some stars negotiate hefty paychecks, while others let their work do the talking. Mohanlal, a legend in Indian cinema, has taken an unconventional route for his upcoming film L2: Empuraan. As the March 27 release date inches closer, the film’s promotions are in full swing across India, spanning Hindi, Telugu, and Malayalam markets. Amidst all the buzz, director Prithviraj Sukumaran dropped a revelation that no one saw coming.

In a surprising disclosure, Prithviraj shared that Mohanlal did not take a single rupee as remuneration for the film. Instead, the entire budget was directed towards enhancing the film’s production value. The director couldn’t hide his admiration, calling it a gesture that went beyond mere stardom—a move that truly shaped L2: Empuraan into a cinematic spectacle.

But is there more to the story? Industry insiders speculate that Mohanlal might have opted for a profit-sharing model, a trend seen with stars like Allu Arjun (Pushpa 2) and Yash (Ramayanam). If true, it could mean that while Mohanlal isn’t pocketing a fixed fee, his earnings could skyrocket based on the film’s box office performance.

Regardless of the financial strategy, one thing is clear—this isn’t just about money. Mohanlal’s decision reflects a deep-rooted passion for cinema, and that, in itself, adds another layer of intrigue to L2: Empuraan. Now, all eyes are on the big screen to see if this gamble pays off in the grandest way possible.
