Mohanlal-Prithviraj to Team Up for ‘Lumiere Brothers’? Rumors Hint at an Action-Comedy Before ‘L2E: Empuraan 3’

Rumors are buzzing in the Malayalam film industry that superstar Mohanlal and actor-director Prithviraj Sukumaran may be reuniting for a new film titled Lumiere Brothers, before they commence work on the third part of the Lucifer trilogy. The project is said to be in the early stages of planning, with reports suggesting that Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey director Vipin Das is attached as the writer. While Vipin Das has publicly denied the news, several sources hint that the film could take off by mid-2026 once both Mohanlal and Prithviraj complete their current commitments. The film is reportedly a light-hearted action-comedy — a genre shift from their intense political thrillers.

The Mohanlal-Prithviraj combo has already delivered two major blockbusters. Their first collaboration, Lucifer (2019), was a political action thriller that went on to become a massive success, solidifying Prithviraj’s place as a director. They followed it up with L2: Empuraan, which released in March 2025 and shattered all existing box office records in Malayalam cinema. The film grossed an astonishing ₹266 crore worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. Their dynamic actor-director partnership has since become one of the most bankable combinations in the industry.

With both stars currently tied up with separate projects, the possible collaboration for Lumiere Brothers is expected only after these schedules wrap up. Though unofficial, the project has already generated considerable excitement among fans, thanks to the legacy the duo has built. If the rumors prove true, Lumiere Brothers could offer a refreshing new flavor to their collaboration — blending Mohanlal’s comic timing with Prithviraj’s stylish direction in an action-packed entertainer.
