While discussing Empuraan: 

Abhinandan: Why is it called L:2 Empuraan? 

Manisha: The second!

Jayashree: Yes, so the first one was Lucifer. But this L is a thing. Something would be happening casually in the movie and a rock will fall in the shape of an L. Or Mohanlal will be walking past a tree which will catch fire in the shape of an L.

Abhinandan and Rajyasree: Why?

Jayashree: Because he is L for Lucifer, guys.

Rajyasree: (cracks up) I’m not going to watch this one.

This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri, Rajyasree Sen, Jayashree Arunachalam and Manisha Pande discuss the TV series The White Lotus and The Studio, the movie L:2 Empuraan, and their favourite Val Kilmer roles.
