Antony Perumbavoor is the architect of Kerala cinema's global ambitions. The Prithviverse (Lucifer → L2: Empuraan) is the only genuine cinematic universe in Malayalam cinema. L2: Empuraan (2025) at ₹350+ Cr WW is the biggest Malayalam film since 2022 — it had a post-release controversy leading to an edited re-release, managed without material box office damage, a sign of Perumbavoor's strong exhibition relationships. Mohanlal's star power now extends pan-India: confirmed cameos in Jailer 2 (Sun Pictures, 2026) keep the banner's presence in Telugu and Tamil circuits too.
Boxoffy Note
L2: Empuraan had post-release controversy leading to an edited re-release. Managed without material box office damage by Perumbavoor — sign of a strong exhibition relationship.
