Historic Feat; Empuraan Smashes Overseas Theatrical Record with ₹30+ Crore Deal

L2E: Empuraan, the highly anticipated sequel to Lucifer, has created history even before its release by securing an unprecedented overseas theatrical advance of over ₹30 crore. This monumental deal sets a new all-time record for a Malayalam film, surpassing the previous benchmark by more than double. The film’s overseas rights have even outshined major Telugu biggies like NTR’s Devara (₹27 crore), Ram Charan’s Game Changer (₹25 crore), and Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram (₹22 crore), marking a phenomenal leap in Mollywood’s global market presence.

With this record-breaking deal, Empuraan now tops the list of the biggest overseas deals in Malayalam cinema history, surpassing King of Kotha (₹14.8 crore) and Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham (₹12 crore). Mohanlal’s global appeal has once again proven unmatched, setting a benchmark, especially in the Rest of World (ROW) markets. The overseas theatrical release of Empuraan is set to be grand, with leading distributors onboard: Phars Film (GCC), Prime Media US (USA), RFT Films (UK & Europe), Films Lokah (Europe), and Cyber Systems Australia (Australia & New Zealand). Notably, Cyber Systems Australia has acquired the non-GCC overseas rights at a record-breaking price.

Set for a massive global release in 1,000+ locations on March 27, 2025, Empuraan is all set to redefine Mollywood’s international box office landscape. The worldwide anticipation is at an all-time high, and with these staggering overseas deals, the film is poised for a historic run.
