Joining him are familiar faces like Prithviraj Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, and Indrajith Sukumaran, all reprising their roles. Actors like Arjun Das and Abhimanyu Singh are also reportedly joining the ensemble.  

Earlier Prithviraj shared some interesting details about the film’s technical aspects. Responding to a fan question on X, he revealed that 'Empuraan' wasn’t shot using full-format lenses. Instead, the trilogy will stick to anamorphic lenses and a 1:2.8 aspect ratio, ensuring a cinematic experience that’s consistent across all three films.
