At the recent press conference for his highly anticipated film L2: Empuraan, Prithviraj Sukumaran expressed his admiration for Salman Khan and his forthcoming action film, Sikandar. The actor and filmmaker conveyed his excitement for the project and extended his best wishes to the entire team, highlighting the film's extensive scope and the Bollywood star's prominence.

Anticipation for consecutive releases

During his interaction with the media, Prithviraj shared his eagerness for his upcoming film, Sikandar, which is set to premiere shortly after L2: Empuraan. He underscored the film's significant appeal, describing it as a "massive, massive project" featuring Salman Khan.

Sikandar represents a monumental project featuring Salman Khan, one of the nation's most celebrated superstars. As is customary, he is set to release this highly anticipated commercial film during Eid, collaborating with esteemed director A. R. Murugadoss. Prithviraj remarked.

His statements convey a profound admiration for both Salman and the action-thriller director A. R. Murugadoss.

Promoting a dual viewing experience, Prithviraj expressed optimism about Sikandar's potential success at the box office. He even encouraged audiences to enjoy both films back-to-back.

"I extend my best wishes to the entire team. I hope the film achieves blockbuster status. I would have no objections if you choose to watch Sikandar at 11 AM and Empuraan at 1 PM," he humorously noted, showcasing his confidence in his own film while also expressing enthusiasm for Salman's project.

Overview of Empuraan and Sikandar

Empuraan is set to debut on March 27, 2025, followed closely by Sikandar on March 30, 2025, both coinciding with the Eid weekend, which promises a significant box office showdown. Despite the proximity of their release dates, Prithviraj appears to view this as a celebration of cinema rather than a rivalry, as indicated by his comments.

L2: Empuraan, which is both created and directed by Prithviraj, serves as Mohanlal's follow-up to the 2019 hit Lucifer, while Salman Khan's Sikandar is set to be his major release for Eid. Directed by A. R. Murugadoss, Sikandar features Rashmika Mandanna in a leading role, alongside notable performances from Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar.

Both films are anticipated to attract large audiences. The extensive fan following of Salman Khan, combined with Murugadoss's directorial expertise, promises an engaging and dynamic experience with Sikandar. Meanwhile, fans of Malayalam cinema are eagerly awaiting L2: Empuraan, the much-anticipated sequel to the beloved film Lucifer.
