L2 Empuraan will not have an item song

Deepak Dev, who extensively spoke about the Mohanlal starrer, further revealed that the movie will not have an ‘item song’ like its first installment. For the first installment the climax song number ‘Raftaara’ from Lucifer immediately became a chartbuster and was a subject to controversy. However, the team has decided to not include a similar song, in L2 Empuraan. The Mohanlal will have a few songs, that match the mood of the film. But Deepak Dev still believes that things might change anytime, as director Prithviraj and his team have been constantly working on the narrative, during shooting.
