Overview

  • On July 27–28, POFFACTIO labeled reports of high-octane underwater action sequences and record budgets for Lucifer 3: Azrael as “completely false” and “entirely untrue.”
  • The statement traces the misinformation back to fake social media profiles used in what the team calls a hate campaign targeting Prithviraj Sukumaran.
  • POFFACTIO urged all media outlets to cross-check their sources with official Sarzameen promotional interviews and to republish corrected news.
  • No confirmed details on Lucifer 3’s plot, filming timeline or budget have been released as the final chapter of the political-action trilogy remains under wraps.
  • The Lucifer franchise, led by Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj, launched in 2019 and saw strong fan and box-office response to its March 2025 sequel, L2: Empuraan.
