Controversy brewing: Star Hero Mohanlal Finally Reacts

It can be argued that Empuraan, featuring Malayalam superstar, Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead roles is one of the most anticipated Malayalam films in recent years. This film opened on a huge note at the global box office in particularly the Malayalam speaking markets.

However, there has also been a political controversy about the film as there have been several comments that it is propagating, the anti-Hindu agenda.

Incidentally, Mohanlal arrived on social media to issue a clarification on this political controversy that has been happening around the film, and he had a long statement.

“I have learned that some of the political-social themes that have emerged in the expression of the movie 'Empuraan', the second part of the 'Lucifer' franchise, have caused a lot of depression for many of my lovers.

As an artist, it is my duty to ensure that none of my movies harbors hatred towards any political movement, idea or religion. Therefore, myself and the Empuran team sincerely regret the mental pain caused to my loved ones, and with the realization that the responsibility lies with all of us who worked behind the film

We have decided together to compulsorily remove such topics from the cinema. I have lived my cinema life as one of you for the last four decades. Your love and faith is my only strength. I believe there is no Mohanlal greater than that...

With love Mohanlal. L2E #Empuraan” Mohanlal stayed. It is evident that the senior star Hero does not want any bit of this controversy, and that is the reason why he issued a clarification on this matter today.
