Recently, during an event when Naga Chaitanya was asked about his OTT debut, the actor was quick to say that actors always crave for their work t get maximum exposure and OTT platforms serve it well. Hence the OTT debut will soon happen with Amazon Prime Video’s first Telugu series, titled Dhootha.

Dhootha is a horror series and when asked about the same, Chaitanya said that he’s not that person, who can sit still during a horror film. So when director Vikram told him about his supernatural horror thriller, the Majili actor was a bit suspicious but the brilliance of the script forced him to take up the role.

Empuraan: Mohanlal’s film becomes highest-grossing Malayalam movie, beats Manjummel Boys

The film has successfully captured the attention of audiences both domestically and internationally.

Published

Mohanlal, the celebrated superstar of Malayalam cinema, has achieved a remarkable feat with his latest film, L2: Empuraan. Released on March 27, 2025, the film became the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time globally on Saturday, April 5. It has surpassed the previous record held by 2024’s Manjummel Boys and is rapidly approaching the impressive Rs 300-crore milestone at the worldwide box office.

Mohanlal took to his official X account to celebrate this significant achievement, sharing his gratitude with fans and followers.

Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, L2: Empuraan is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Lucifer. It continues the riveting story of Stephen Nedumpally, also known as Khureshi-Ab’raam, taking audiences on another thrilling journey filled with action and intrigue. The film has successfully captured the attention of audiences both domestically and internationally.

However, the film’s release has not come without its share of controversies. It has faced significant backlash primarily due to its references to the 2002 Gujarat pogrom. This controversy has led to criticism from some right-wing groups, prompting the filmmakers to make 24 ‘voluntary cuts’ to the film, which total 2.08 minutes in length.

The re-edited version of Empuraan, which was certified by the regional officer of the Central Board of Film Certification, was expected to be showcased in theaters by April 2, allowing the film to find a more extensive audience.

The screenplay for L2: Empuraan was penned by the talented Murali Gopy, who has previously collaborated with Mohanlal on successful projects. The film features an impressive ensemble cast that includes Prithviraj Sukumaran, Manju Warrier, Tovino Thomas, Abhimanyu Singh, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Arjun Das, Fazil, and Shine Tom Chacko.

Produced by Antony Perumbavoor, Gokulam Gopalan, and Subaskaran, L2: Empuraan is brought to life under the reputable banners of Aashirvad Cinemas, Sree Gokulam Movies, and Lyca Productions. This achievement marks a significant moment in Malayalam cinema, reaffirming Mohanlal’s status as a leading figure in the industry.

Good Bad Ugly trailer: Ajith Kumar’s power-packed visuals, fiery dialogues set the stage for April 10 release

Ajith Kumar takes center stage in the high-octane trailer of Good Bad Ugly, directed by Adhik Ravichandran. The film is set for a global release on April 10, 2025.

Ajith Kumar's Good, Bad, Ugly

The trailer of Ajith Kumar’s much-awaited action entertainer Good Bad Ugly has finally been unveiled and it’s nothing short of a mass-loaded spectacle. Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, the film is set for a grand worldwide release on April 10, 2025 and the trailer has only amplified the hype around this high-octane action drama.

Originally planned for a Pongal 2025 release, the film has been in the works since June last year and boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast featuring Ajith Kumar, Trisha, Arjun Das, Prabhu, Prasanna, and Sunil.

The trailer opens with Arjun Das in a suave villainous role, dancing alongside foreign performers to the folk tune Otha Rooba Tharen. His character directly challenges Ajith’s, branding himself as the real villain in the story. Soon after, Trisha’s character accuses Ajith’s of a past crime, sparking emotional turmoil that quickly turns into a mission for revenge and redemption.

Ajith’s character, in a fiery monologue, reveals his transformation — having given up smoking, drinking, and violence for his family — only to reclaim his old ways when his son’s safety is at risk. With electrifying action scenes, gripping face-offs, and a commanding presence, Ajith delivers one of the trailer’s strongest lines, warning an opponent that while they may retain their body parts, they won’t keep their life.

The trailer ends with the striking declaration: “Bad boy.”

The trailer’s scheduled release was briefly delayed due to what the production team called “MASS SAMBAVAM” — a response so overwhelming it caused server slowdowns. Eventually, the trailer dropped 20 minutes later, much to fans’ delight.

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film features music by National Award-winning composer G.V. Prakash Kumar, cinematography by Abinandhan Ramanujam, editing by Vijay Velukutty, and intense stunt sequences choreographed by Supreme Sundar and Kaloian Vodenicharov.

With its high-voltage visuals, punch-packed dialogues, and Ajith in full form, Good Bad Ugly promises to be a box-office storm when it hits theatres on April 10.
