Malayalam stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Mohanlal unveiled the first-look poster of Tovino Thomas for his upcoming film L2: Empuraan, a sequel to the 2019 movie Lucifer, to mark the actor's 36th birthday on Tuesday.

“Happy Birthday Jathin! #TovinoThomas Power…is an illusion,” Prithviraj wrote on X alongside the poster featuring Thomas’ character Jathin Ramdas.

The poster introduces Tovino as Jathin Ramdas, clad in a white kurta pyjama and exuding a calm demeanour. He stands in front of a wall portrait of PK Ramdas, played by Sachin Khedekar, hinting at a connection between the characters.
