Earlier, trade analyst Sreedhar Pillai had tweeted out that the Mohanlal-Manju Warrier starrer is a path breaking hit for the entire Malayalam film industry. He observed, as did other trade analysts, that the film has brought forth new business opportunities in the overseas markets such as the US and the UAE. This is apart from the multiplexes and theatres across India.

For Mohanlal fans, this is a visual treat as the action thriller brings together Mohanlal and Prithviraj on screen together for the first time ever! For the audience, this visual delight comes along with a star-studded array of fine actors such as Sai Kumar, Manju Warrier, Vivek Oberoi, Tovino and Indrajith, among others.

On the day of ‘Lucifer’s release, actor-turned-director Prithviraj took to Twitter, dedicating his debut directorial to the memory of his father, veteran Malayalam actor Sukumaran.

A noteworthy mention is the full length appearance of renowned film maker Faasil, who had launched Mohanlal in his debut directorial, ‘Manjil Virinja Pookal.’

For movie buffs, it would have been nothing less than exciting to watch these two iconic figures in the Malayalam film industry shared screen space after more than two decades.
