Suresh Gopi on L2 Empuraan in Parliament
After the film was released, the makers made 24 voluntary cuts with the CBFC due to backlash. Fictional scenes depicting the 2002 Gujarat riots came under fire and the makers tweaked other scenes involving a religious structure, violence against women and more, apart from changing the villain’s name. Actor-politician Suresh Gopi addressed claims of these changes being made under political pressure in the parliament on Thursday and said, “It was the decision of the producers, and the lead actor of the film, with the permission of the director of the film.”
