Prithviraj Sukumaran's eagerly anticipated malayalam film L2: Empuraan, which mohanlal is now promoting, got released yesterday. In the midst of the excitement around his movie, there is a lot of conjecture over his role in Jailer 2, the much awaited follow-up to Rajinikanth's 2023 blockbuster.
Mohanlal acknowledged receiving several proposals from tamil directors, but he had to turn them down because of his obligations to L2: Empuraan and other projects, in a recent interview with cinema Vikatan. But when he was questioned about Jailer 2, he gave away a lot when he said, "Now that Jailer 2 has begun, I will join the film if they call me."
This claim has stoked speculation that Mathew, played by mohanlal, would make a comeback and play a bigger part in the follow-up. Although a formal confirmation is still pending, his remarks imply that talks may already be underway. Mohanlal made a brief but significant appearance in Jailer, which increased the movie's appeal across India.

His involvement in Jailer 2 might result in yet another significant crossover between tamil and malayalam cinema, which would increase the anticipation for the movie even more. Advance reservations for L2: Empuraan are already smashing records as the film prepares for a huge global release. Expectations are quite high for the follow-up to the 2019 blockbuster Lucifer, thus 2025 is a critical year for Mohanlal.
