슬롯사이트˜L2 Empuraan슬롯사이트�: From Mammootty슬롯사이트™s Role to Shah Rukh Khan슬롯사이트™s Cameo, 7 Fan Theories That Crumbled After Mohanlal-Prithviraj Sukumaran슬롯사이트™s 슬롯사이트˜Lucifer슬롯사이트� Sequel Hit Theatres (SPOILER ALERT)
L2: Empuraan was always meant to be a stepping stone toward the third part, setting up a larger narrative. While some fan theories turned out to be completely off the mark, the film does offer a few surprises. But if you were expecting shocking cameos and deep Illuminati lore, you may need to recalibrate your expectations for the next instalment.
No other movie in Malayalam cinema has been discussed as much as L2: Empuraan. Fans have dissected every piece of information about the film슬롯사이트”from posters to trailers - with the same enthusiasm that Marvel fans exhibit for MCU films and shows. From speculated star-studded cameos (most of which were debunked by the team beforehand) to potential plot twists, the internet was flooded with fan theories. At one point, it became almost impossible to browse social media without encountering a new theory or casting rumour.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜L2: Empuraan슬롯사이트� Movie Review: Mohanlal슬롯사이트™s Swagger Keeps Saving Prithviraj Sukumaran슬롯사이트™s Grand but Exhaustingly Over-Stuffed 슬롯사이트˜Lucifer슬롯사이트� Sequel.
Some of these speculations turned out to be true, but the more far-fetched ones did not. L2: Empuraan, the sequel to the 2019 film Lucifer, hit theatres on March 27, launching with a stellar box-office performance. However, critical reception has been more mixed. Anyone who watched the film purely for surprise cameos likely left disappointed - though Prithviraj and his lead star Mohanlal had already warned fans in pre-release interviews not to expect major surprises in that regard.
While there are some SPOILERS ahead, read on if you plan to watch L2: Empuraan with grand fan theories in mind.
Fan Theory 1 - Mammootty as Khureshi or Ab'raam
One prevailing theory suggested that Stephen Nedumpally슬롯사이트™s alter-ego, Khureshi Ab'raam, derived his name from another figure - rumoured to be played by Mammootty. However, not only is this theory unsubstantiated in the sequel, but Mammootty is entirely absent from the movie. If you슬롯사이트™re eager to see Mammootty and Mohanlal share the screen, you슬롯사이트™ll have to wait for Mahesh Narayanan슬롯사이트™s upcoming film.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜L2: Empuraan슬롯사이트�: 슬롯사이트˜Rooting for You, Dear Lal and Prithvi슬롯사이트�!

Fan Theory 2 - Aamir Khan as the Chinese Antagonist
After fans accepted that Don Lee wouldn슬롯사이트™t be appearing as the mysterious Chinese gangster teased in early posters and trailers, speculation turned to Rick Yune. However, when Prithviraj withheld Yune슬롯사이트™s character poster, some fans theorised that it wasn슬롯사이트™t the Hollywood actor after all. Instead, because the back profile resembled Aamir Khan, speculation arose that the Bollywood star was making his Malayalam debut. In the end, Rick Yune did portray the Chinese gangster, though it remains unclear why his casting generated so much buzz. As for why Prithviraj kept it under wraps before the release - well,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천the next point may answer it...
Fan Theory 3 - The Chinese Gangster is the Main Antagonist
Although Rick Yune슬롯사이트™s character appears in the film, he only makes an appearance toward the climax, setting up the third instalment. Instead, the actual antagonist is Bajrangi, a hardline Hindu extremist leader played by Abhimanyu Singh, alongside his cousin, played by Sukant Goel.
Fan Theory 4 - Zayed Masood Turns Against His Boss
A moment in the trailer hinted that Zayed Masood, Khureshi Ab슬롯사이트™raam슬롯사이트™s fiercely loyal lieutenant, might betray his boss. Given that the trailer briefly touched on his origin story (which involved the 2002 Gujarat riots), audiences expected a more significant role for him. While Zayed does indeed have a larger presence in the sequel, most of it is through flashbacks featuring his younger self. Prithviraj Sukumaran, reprising the role, only appears in the second half of the film - similar to Lucifer. As for the betrayal? It doesn슬롯사이트™t happen. Instead, it슬롯사이트™s Tovino Thomas슬롯사이트� Jathin Ramdas who is portrayed in morally grey shades.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜L2: Empuraan슬롯사이트�: From Mohanlal슬롯사이트™s 슬롯사이트˜Barroz슬롯사이트� to Prithviraj Sukumaran슬롯사이트™s 슬롯사이트˜Aadujeevitham슬롯사이트�, 7 Most Expensive Malayalam Movies Released to Date and How They Fared at Box Office.
Fan Theory 5 - Shah Rukh Khan Cameos in the Movie
This was perhaps the wildest rumour of all. It gained so much traction that Mohanlal and Prithviraj were asked about it in an interview, where Mohanlal jokingly claimed that SRK슬롯사이트™s scenes were shot but would be included in the deleted scenes. While King Khan does not appear in the film, there was a moment that briefly made this writer think otherwise. When Govardhan (Indrajith Sukumaran) travels to Alibaug to meet one of Khureshi Ab슬롯사이트™raam슬롯사이트™s confidants, it seemed like a grand reveal was imminent. Instead, the confidant turned out to be... Anthony Perumbavoor. What a letdown!
Fan Theory 6 - The Illuminati Has a Larger Role
Lucifer introduced Malayali audiences to the mysterious and mythical secret organisation, the Illuminati, hinting at Khureshi Ab슬롯사이트™raam슬롯사이트™s connection to it. Fans speculated that the sequel would delve deeper into the Illuminati and perhaps other secret societies like the Freemasons, Bohemian Grove, and even Emperor Ashoka슬롯사이트™s fabled Nine Unknown Men. But as Malayalis love to say in jest슬롯사이트�unda! The Illuminati isn슬롯사이트™t even mentioned in the sequel. Instead, the film introduces two powerful crime syndicates - God Axis, led by the Shien Triad, and Khureshi Ab슬롯사이트™raam슬롯사이트™s own nexus.
Fan Theory 7 - L2: Empuraan Would Explore슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Khureshi Ab슬롯사이트™raam's Origin Story
No. That revelation is reserved for the third instalment - a certainty teased in the epilogue, with Pranav Mohanlal (the writer dropping a resigned sigh) portraying a younger Khureshi Ab슬롯사이트™raam in a 1981-set sequence. The only backstory L2: Empuraan delves into is Zayed Masood슬롯사이트™s: as a boy, he loses his family in the Gujarat riots, in a violent attack orchestrated by Bajrangi, and is rescued from Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) indoctrination by Khureshi Ab슬롯사이트™raam.
