One fan wrote, “It’s not Aamir, it’s Rick Yune, confirmed!” Another internet user even asked AI Grok, “Does this photo bear a major resemblance to Rick Yune?” However, grok replied, "The "L2: Empuraan" poster shows a man, likely Mohanlal, from behind in a suit facing a dragon.

About L2: Empuraan

The Malayalam-language action thriller is directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and written by Murali Gopy. It is the second instalment in a trilogy and a follow-up to the 2019 film Lucifer. The film stars Mohanlal in the lead role, alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran, Manju Warrier, Tovino Thomas, Indrajith Sukumaran, and Abhimanyu Singh, among others, in key roles. The film is set to release in cinemas on March 27.

Speaking about the scale of L2: Empuraan, Prithviraj told Hindustan Times, “This film is the deep end of the swimming pool for us. I don't think anyone in our industry has attempted something on this scale. Halfway through writing the script, I thought this was not going to get made. I realised that I had thrown the pebble way ahead, and for some reason, I was not able to bring it back. I was not able to make it smaller. It was only the belief of Mohanlal sir and my producer, Antony Perumbavoor, that made this happen. And we decided to go all out."
