Empuraan features a solid ensemble cast comprising of Manju Warrier, Abhimanyu Singh, Tovino Thomas, Indrajith Sukumaran, Andrea Tivadar, Jerome Flynn, and Sukant Goel among others.

L2 Empuraan released in theatres on March 27 amid a lot of anticipation. The film had a tremendous opening day collection for a Malayalam release. However, in the last few days the Mohanlal-starrer has been enmeshed in controversy over its depiction of the Gujarat Riots.

As per a report in Sacnilk, the film minted only Rs 9 crore net at the domestic market, taking the total box office collections to Rs 79.15 crore. With this, it has also surpassed the lifetime collection of its first instalment, Lucifer, which reportedly earned Rs 65 crore net in 2019.
