L2 Empuraan Revised Version To Be Screened From April 2

Empuraan, the Malayalam film starring Mohanlal, has been embroiled in controversy due to certain scenes that were deemed objectionable by some viewers. In response to the backlash, the film's co-producer, Antony Perumbavoor, has announced that 24 edits have been made to the film to address viewer concerns. The revised version of the film is expected to hit theaters soon. The edits include the removal of violent scenes featuring a pregnant woman, as well as the change of the villain's name from Bajarangi to Baldev.

The controversy surrounding Empuraan began when certain scenes in the film were criticized for their portrayal of the 2002 Gujarat riots. The film was also accused of depicting the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a negative light. In response to the criticism, the filmmakers decided to make last-minute cuts to the film. The revised version of Empuraan is currently being processed by Qube Cinema, which will distribute the updated digital print to all theaters and screening centers.

The revised version of Empuraan is expected to hit theaters soon, with the filmmakers hoping to put the controversy behind them. Despite the backlash, the film has been performing well at the box office, crossing Rs 150 crores worldwide. The film's success is a testament to the enduring popularity of Mohanlal, who reprises his iconic role as Stephen Nedumpally in the film.

The controversy surrounding Empuraan has sparked a debate about censorship and artistic freedom in the film industry. While some have praised the filmmakers for taking steps to address viewer concerns, others have criticized the cuts as a form of censorship. Regardless, the revised version of Empuraan is expected to continue performing well at the box office, with fans eager to see the film's take on the story of Stephen Nedumpally.
