Fri Apr 04 06:14:31 UTC 2025: ## ED Raids Producer of Controversial Film “L2: Empuraan”
**Chennai, April 4, 2025** – The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches today at the offices of Gokulam Gopalan, a Kerala-based businessman and producer of the highly anticipated film “L2: Empuraan,” in Chennai and Kochi. The raids, carried out under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), are part of an ongoing investigation into alleged foreign exchange violations.
“L2: Empuraan,” the sequel to the successful film “Lucifer,” has sparked controversy for its perceived criticism of right-wing politics and allusions to the Gujarat riots. Lead actor Mohanlal recently apologized for the uproar and promised to remove the contentious scenes. The ED’s investigation adds another layer of complexity to the already turbulent release of the film.
