L2-Empuraan revised after the controversy

Mohanlal's L2- Empuraan directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran hit the screens this week and the film  got mixed reviews. Many who viewed the film felt that the film was more on style rather than substance. Excitmeent increased on L2-Empuraan as the film is the sequel to the hit film Lucifer.

However the film hit the controversy over the way Abhimanyu Singh was shown in the film. Now, according to the latest, the makers decided to make changes in the film to avoid controversy and the revised version will be screened from next week in the theatres from 2 April. The makers decided to make 17 cuts and mute some dialogues.

A source shares "The decision was made by the producers. As the director also nodded to the decision, the filmmakers went for editing and re-censoring. There will only be minute changes that do not affect the content of the film," Earlier the producer Gokulam Gopalan said that they will take corrective steps if the people's sentiments are hurt.  

He said "Some words have been muted for the time being. There have been protests for certain things shown in the movie and I have asked the director, if he can make any changes. He should. The film was censored, there were no issues then. We have no connection with any political party, I see politics as a service,"  and added "If any scenes or dialogues shown in the movie Empuraan hurt anyone, I have told director Prithviraj to make changes."

Kerala Film Producers Association's official said  "We had discussed this issue of re-censoring with the censor board and came to know that it is a voluntary move. The censor board has not demanded any changes. The producers decided to remove a few portions,"

An official earlier said  "We had discussed this issue of re-censoring with the censor board and came to know that it is a voluntary move. The censor board has not demanded any changes. The producers decided to remove a few portions,"
