Amidst the intense criticism unleashed by Sangh Parivar against some portions of the movie, the actor took to his social media handle and said that as an artist, it was his duty to ensure that none of his films promotes hatred toward any political movement, ideology, or religious community.
The actor said the entire movie team has collectively decided to remove those portions from the film.
He further said that for the past four decades, he has lived his film life as one among the people.
“Your love and trust are my only strength. I firmly believe that there is no Mohanlal beyond that,” the actor added.
The Prithviraj-directed film, the second part of the “Lucifer” movie, a trilogy planned by the Prithviraj-Mohanlal team, has become a topic of hot debate over its critique of right-wing politics and the covert mention of the Gujarat riots.
“L2: Empuraan”, which had its worldwide release on Thursday, had 4,500 shows in 746 screens in Kerala alone on the opening day, sources said.
