Mohanlal, who also participated in the press meet, agreed with Prithviraj’s sentiment, stating, “I haven’t taken a single rupee for the film,” and further confirmed that all the resources were directed towards creating the best cinematic experience for the audience.
“All of us, the technicians, and the actors, knew we were attempting something different, and we all pitched in. Even the foreign actors understood. People like Jerome, Andrea acted in Empuraan as a favour,” Prithviraj said.
In his conversation with Pinkvilla, Prithviraj also mentioned that he had initially reached out to some big names from international cinema, including actors from the US, UK, and China. However, when the agents got involved, the financial demands made it difficult to secure them for the film. “That doesn’t work for Malayalam cinema,” he said.
Despite these challenges, L2: Empuraan still managed to gather an impressive ensemble of eminent actors.
