Empuraan OTT Release: Mohanlal’s blockbuster set for digital premiere – Expected date & platform

Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran's L2: Empuraan is taking the box office by storm! Released on March 27, the highly anticipated sequel has already amassed ₹60 crore net in India and ₹70 crore gross, with worldwide earnings crossing a staggering ₹200 crore. The political thriller continues to pull in huge crowds, but fans are also eager to know when they can stream it from home.

Where Will L2: Empuraan Stream?

Reports suggest that JioHotstar is the likely OTT platform for the film’s digital debut, though an official confirmation is still awaited.

Expected OTT Release Date

As per industry norms, since L2: Empuraan had a Hindi release and multiplex screenings, it falls under the mandatory eight-week theatrical window before heading to OTT. This means fans can expect the digital release around May 23, 2025.

What’s Next in the Lucifer Franchise?

During a pre-release event, director Prithviraj Sukumaran confirmed that the script for L3, the third installment of the Lucifer franchise, is already in the works. Producer Antony Perumbavoor assured fans that the sequel is definitely happening.

Theatrical Edits & Controversy

Despite its massive success, L2: Empuraan faced controversy over scenes allegedly depicting the 2002 Gujarat riots. Following backlash, nearly two minutes of footage were removed. However, Antony Perumbavoor clarified that the edits were made voluntarily to avoid hurting sentiments, not due to external pressure. He also dismissed rumors of a rift between Mohanlal and Prithviraj, stating that the team remains united.

For those looking to revisit Lucifer, the first film is available on Sony Liv (Hindi) and Amazon Prime Video (Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu).
