MOHANLAL'S highly anticipated film, L2: Empuraan, has ignited a fierce debate on social media with some viewers interpreting it as having a political undertone that allegedly disparages right-wing ideologies. Certain right-wing social media handles expressed discontent, suggesting that director Prithviraj had deceived Mohanlal and his fans.

A Facebook post by 'Sanathana Dharma' accused Prithviraj of deceiving Mohanlal and his fans. Meanwhile, media outlet HinduPost commented, "The latest Mohanlal-starrer Empuraan, has revealed itself to be an overt Hindu-bashing propaganda film, portraying Hindus as villains amidst the ongoing genocide of Hindus across the subcontinent, including India."
