Actor-director Prithviraj Sukumaran on Tuesday unveiled the first-look poster of Mohanlal from their upcoming movie L2: Empuraan on the occasion of the latter’s birthday.

In the poster, Mohanlal exudes style in an all-black outfit paired with black sunglasses. “Happy birthday Laletta,” Prithviraj captioned the photo.

Empuraan is the second film in the Lucifer franchise directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. Mohanlal reprises his role as Khureshi Abraam aka Stephen Nedumpally in the film.

Produced by Lyca Productions, Empuraan is slated to release in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi. Nirmal Sahadev serves as the creative director of the film.

While Mohanlal was last seen in Lijo Jose Pellissery’s Malaikottai Vaaliban, which arrived in theatres in January, Prithviraj’s latest screen outing was Vipin Das’s Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil that hit cinemas last week.
