With Khureshi or Stephen? Tovino hints at combination scene with Mohanlal in Empuraan

At the highly anticipated teaser launch for L2E: Empuraan, actor Tovino Thomas revealed an intriguing hint about his character, Jathin Ramdas, sharing a combination scene with the legendary Mohanlal. Tovino, who portrayed Jathin in the first part of Lucifer, shared that in Empuraan, he finally gets the chance to share the screen with Mohanlal – something that was missing from the original film. Describing it as an interesting experience, Tovino expressed his excitement for the collaboration.

Mohanlal portrays the character of Stephen Nedumpally in Lucifer, who is also revealed to be known as Khureshi Abraam.

Speaking about his character in Lucifer, Tovino shared how he initially approached the role with little pressure despite the film’s massive success. “When I went to act, I was dedicating myself, the rest is your risk,” Tovino said, acknowledging the impact his portrayal of Jathin Ramdas had on his career. The actor expressed his eagerness for the release of Empuraan, hoping it would live up to the same level of excitement as the first film.
