Recently, it was rumoured that Lyca Productions, the popular Tamil banner which is set to make its Malayalam debut with L2 Empuraan, backed out from the project. The reports suggest that the co-producers decided to exit the Mohanlal starrer, due to production issues. The sources close to the project suggest that Lyca Productions has not been fulfilling their obligations as the co-producer, due to the ongoing financial issues. However, director Prithviraj Sukumaran slammed the rumours with a recent social media post.

The actor-filmmaker recently announced the team wrapped up the Hyderabad schedule and kickstarted the second Thiruvananthapuram schedule, with a social media post, recently. Prithviraj Sukumaran, who shared a location still from the sets of L2 Empuraan, made sure that he tagged Lyca Productions, along with Mohanlal and Aashirvad Cinemas, in the post. “Hyd —-> Tvm. #L2E #Empuraan @LycaProductions @aashirvadcine @Mohanlal,” wrote Prithviraj, who confirmed that the Tamil production banner is still very much on board. However, reports suggest that the production issues are not solved, yet.
