Lal's much awaited malayalam film 'L2 Empuraan' was released on Thursday, march 27 and it had a great opening at the box office. But then the film got embroiled in controversies. Actually, Hindu organizations had objected to the scenes shown in the film regarding the gujarat riots and even demanded its ban. The matter escalated so much that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) gave instructions to make several cuts in the film.
