Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran’s L2: Empuraan has landed in a major controversy over its depicton of the Gujarat riots of 2002. Infosys CFO and advocate of conservative causes, Mohandas Pai has slammed the film for its fake narrative and propaganda. Here’s his tweet that has gone viral: Big shame.
A big propaganda film based on fake narratives! @Mohanlal should be ashamed not gloat! https://t.co/n61bQqfP5p “Running fake narratives is not about courage! Who got burnt in Godhra? Who burnt the Kar Sevaks? Who were prosecuted and sentenced? People have to be honest not lie through their teeth if they want to show courage,” added Pai. Mohanlal breaks silence Mohanlal then issued a statement that read- “I have learnt that some of the political-social themes that have emerged in the expression of the movie ‘Empuraan’, the second part of the ‘Lucifer’ franchise, have caused a lot of disappointment to many of my lovers.
As an artist, it is my duty to ensure that none of my movies harbours hatred towards any political movement, idea or religion.” “Therefore, I and the Empuraan team sincerely regret the mental pain caused to my loved ones, and with the realisation that the responsibility lies with all of us who worked behind the film, we have decided together to compulsorily remove such parts from the movie,” he added. What the film is about? L2: Empuraan begins where the first part (Lucifer) concluded.
