Chennai, Feb 20 (NationPress) The renowned Malayalam icon Mohanlal introduced Subhadra Ben as the character portrayed by actress Nikhat Khan Hegde in the highly anticipated political action thriller L2: Empuraan (L2E), directed by Prithviraj.
On his X timeline, Mohanlal shared, “Character No14 Nikhat Khan Hegde as Subhadra Ben in #L2E #EMPURAAN.” He also included a link to a YouTube video where Nikhat Hegde discussed her role in the film.
Nikhat Hegde described her character, stating, “Subhadra Ben is a royal woman who owns a vast haveli; she exudes regality yet possesses profound humanity. She provides support to individuals facing difficulties. Thus, she embodies love and resilience, but there is also an element of betrayal.”
She added, “Through Subhadra Ben, I explored various emotional dimensions and feel privileged to convey a significant message in Empuraan through my role. Working on this film and with Prithviraj was a delightful experience. I am truly honored to be part of this project.”
The film, starring Mohanlal, is helmed by actor Prithviraj and produced collaboratively by Antony Perumbavoor and Subaskaran. The screenplay is crafted by Murali Gopy, with music composed by Deepak Dev. The cinematography is handled by Sujith Vaassudev and editing by Akhilesh Mohan.
It is worth noting that Prithviraj had earlier indicated that the film would serve as a commercial entertainer featuring Mohanlal. Murali Gopy mentioned that this is the second installment in a trilogy.
The first part, 'Lucifer', which debuted in 2019 and marked Prithviraj Sukumaran's directorial debut, became a blockbuster within just eight days, grossing over Rs 200 crore, making it the highest-grossing Malayalam film to date.
Unquestionably, the anticipation for the sequel, slated for release on March 27 this year, has reached new heights.
