The latest character introduction for Prithviraj Sukumaran's L2E: Empuraan reveals English actor Jerome Flynn as Boris Oliver. Best known as Bronn from HBO’s Game of Thrones (2011–19), Flynn joins the Lucifer franchise in what he describes as a pivotal role. In a promotional video released by the makers on Sunday, Flynn admitted he wasn’t sure how he ended up in the project but was glad he did, calling it a completely different experience from his usual work in the UK and the US. He reflected on his past visits to India for spiritual retreats in his late 20s and early 30s, saying the country had a lasting impact on his life.
Describing the production environment, Flynn compared it to “being back in the middle of a Delhi roundabout,” calling it an “orchestrated chaos” where everyone was passionate about their work. He noted that despite not filming in India, the set had a similar energy. Without giving away details, Flynn hinted that his character Boris plays an important role in Khureshi-Ab'raam's journey.
Empuraan marks Mohanlal's return as Khureshi-Ab'raam/Stephen Nedumbally. The returning cast members also include Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, Indrajith Sukumaran, Saikumar, Nandu, Saniya Iyappan, Sshivada, and Baiju Santhosh. Produced by Aashirvad Cinemas and Lyca Productions, the film is set for worldwide release on March 27.
