‘Game of Thrones’ actor Jerome Flynn to star in ‘L2: Empuraan’, starring Mohanlal

Apart from featuring in Game of Thrones (2011-2019), Flynn has acted as Paddy Garvey of the King’s Fusiliers in the ITV series Soldier Soldier. “I can’t quite remember how I got into this project, but I am so glad I did. It was a completely different experience from what I am used to. To be part of the Mollywood culture of things, to get a taste of that, was really special,” Flynn told in a video message.

“India is a precious part of my journey. I spent several years here (India) in my late 20s and early 30s, mostly for spiritual reasons. The whole experience of staying in India changed my life forever. So, doing this film felt like coming home. Everybody on the set was really sweet,” he added.

Flynn said he can’t give away too much about his character. “He plays an important role in Khureshi’s (Mohanlal) journey. I really hope you enjoy my character and like the film.”

The makers released the film’s teaser on January 27, 2025. The teaser begins in a ghost town in Northern Iraq called Qarqosh. We hear Sachin Khedekar’s PK Ramdas telling Manju Warrier’s Priyadarshini, “If ever there comes a day, when you feel everything around you is falling apart, and if I am not alive then, there will be only one person you can turn to for help: Stephen.”

Stephen Nedumpally, as we knew from the climax of Lucifer, is bigger than what we believed him to be; he’s the head of the most powerful mercenary group in all of Asia. Touted to be an action thriller, the film also stars Indrajith Sukumaran.

Co-produced by Lyca Productions and Aashirwad Cinemas, the film is written by Murali Gopy. L2: Empuraan will hit the screens on March 27, 2025.
