L2: Empuraan music: Prithviraj's daughter Alankrita makes debut! Deepak Dev confirms

L2: Empuraan, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Mohanlal, has finally hit theatres and is receiving praise from both audiences and critics. With its thrilling action sequences, visual grandeur, and cutting-edge production, fans are calling it a 'blockbuster.' However, it’s the background title track that has truly captured the audience's attention.

The heavy metal-style growling vocals, especially towards the end of the trailer, have garnered widespread praise for their intensity. Many viewers have described the moment as "goosebumps-inducing."

During the trailer launch, a conversation between Prithviraj and actor Tovino Thomas went viral, revealing that it was indeed Alankrita singing the title.

Alankrita recorded her part in just five minutes, leaving Deepak to humorously remark, "She is her father’s daughter."
