Prithviraj Sukumaranâs mother REACTS to the L2: Empuraan controversy

Amid this, Sukumaran, who directed and starred in the film, is being accused of misleading superstar Mohanlal and the producers. Now, the actor’s mother has broken her silence over the controversy and allegations and said that her son was made a scapegoat.

She shared a statement on Facebook that read, “This is a mother’s pain. There is no point in someone making fun of me for speaking openly about it. Neither Mohanlal nor the producers have said that Prithviraj cheated them. I don’t think they will ever say that. Mohanlal is like my younger brother. I have known Lal since childhood. Mohanlal has praised my son on many occasions. But it is very sad that some people are trying to make my son a scapegoat without the knowledge of Lal or the producers. Director Prithviraj has not cheated anyone associated with this film or any film. He will never do so.”

Her note continued, “If you feel that there is any problem with the film Empuraan, then everyone in this group is responsible for it. They all read the script together. They all saw the scenes being shot together, and everyone agreed. If scenes needed to be edited during shooting, writer Murali Gopy was always willing to do so… then how can Prithviraj be solely responsible for it when everything was finalised and the film was released?”

She further stated that Mohanlal and the producers were aware of each and every shot in the film.

Meanwhile, the film has to go through 17 cuts now. If the revised version is submitted by Monday, then it is expected to be approved for screening in the next couple of days. As per reports, the producers have agreed to the same.
