For those unaware, Prithviraj Sukumaran had suffered an accident back in the day during the shoot of Vilayath Buddha. He was shooting for an action sequence at Marayoor in 2023, where an accident had occurred. The actor later revealed how he was subjected to keyhole surgery and was under bedrest for a couple of months.

The movie Vilayath Buddha is helmed by Jayan Nambiar and is based on a novel by the same name. The novel, authored by G. R. Indugopan, also has the writer co-writing the screenplay with Rajesh Pinnadan.

Moving forward, Prithviraj Sukumaran will hit the big screens on March 27, 2025, with the much-awaited sequel flick L2: Empuraan. The film directed by the actor also has him playing a key character alongside Mohanlal.

The upcoming action thriller is the sequel to 2019’s Lucifer and is the second installment out of a trilogy. While the first installment focused on the character of Stephen Nedumpally, aka Khureshi-Abraam and his nexus with an unnamed crime syndicate, the sequel is likely to delve deeper into the world, showcasing the aftermath of the characters and their origins.

Aside from Mohanlal and Prithviraj, the film also had actors like Tovino Thomas, Indrajith Sukumaran, Manju Warrier, Saniya Iyappan, and many more in key roles.
