The makers of the film, Indian Cinema Company, took to their Instagram page to make the announcement. It said, "Date Locked & Loaded!! #Narivetta Releasing On May 23."
Lucifer was conceived as a three-film franchise from its inception. The success of the first film led to the decision to proceed with the second installment in the series. L2: Empuraan was announced in June 2019, and production, originally planned for mid-2020, faced delays due to the pandemic.
Manju, who made her debut in 1995 with the film “Sakshyam”, has worked in almost over 50 films in a career spanning three decades. In her journey, Manju has been feted with several honours, including a National Film Award and a Kerala State Film Award.
