Actress Mahira Khan is reportedly in talks to make her Malayalam film debut in the highly anticipated film L2: Empuraan.
According to Indian media outlets such as ‘News18’ and ‘Free Press Journal’, Mahira is said to be considering a pivotal role opposite Malayalam superstar Mohanlal in the sequel to the blockbuster film Lucifer. This move came after the Bombay High Court decided to lift the ban on Pakistani artists.
Director Prithviraj Sukumaran, at the helm of L2: Empuraan, has not officially responded to the circulating news circulating on social media. However, speculation has arisen due to the close friendship between Prithviraj, his wife Supriya Menon, and Mahira, with her husband Salim Karim. A viral group photo from a Maldives vacation further fueled the rumours.
If the rumours are true, Mahira’s debut in Malayalam cinema would be marked by L2: Empuraan, a movie that is both a prequel and sequel to the highly successful Lucifer.
L2: Empuraan reportedly features an ensemble cast, including Mohanlal, Manju Warrier, Indrajith Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, Sai Kumar, Baiju Santhosh, and Shivaji Guruvayoor.
The actress has also expressed her admiration for Malayalam cinema in her past interviews. She praised Malayalam films for their storytelling, acting, and production values, expressing her desire to work in the industry.
