Mohanlal’s latest cinematic spectacle, L2: Empuraan, is rewriting box office history. The high-octane political thriller has officially dethroned the superstar’s own 2016 blockbuster Pulimurugan to become the second-highest-grossing Malayalam film in Kerala. With a stunning ₹81 crore earned from the Kerala box office alone, Empuraan now trails only the 2023 survival drama 2018, which tops the chart with ₹89.5 crore. On the global stage, the film has stormed past all previous records, raking in over ₹250 crore worldwide — making it the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever, eclipsing the likes of Manjummel Boys, 2018, and Pulimurugan. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, L2: Empuraan continues the saga of Stephen Nedumpally, portrayed with power and poise by Mohanlal. With its gripping narrative, top-notch production, and star-studded execution, the film not only reaffirms Mohanlal’s box office supremacy but also showcases the unstoppable rise of Malayalam cinema on the global map.
