Aashirvad Cinemas is the architect of Kerala cinema's global ambitions. The Prithviverse (Lucifer 2019 → L2: Empuraan 2025) is Malayalam's only genuine cinematic universe. L2: Empuraan crossed ₹350+ Cr WW (2025) — the biggest Malayalam film since 2022. Antony Perumbavoor is Mohanlal's manager-turned-producer; the relationship is the central asset. Co-produced Patriot (May 1, 2026, ₹29.37 Cr WW D1) with Anto Joseph FC — the Mammootty + Mohanlal reunion after 17 years. Malayalam cinema's commercial ceiling has been raised significantly by Aashirvad's willingness to invest at scale (₹100+ Cr budgets, unprecedented for Mollywood until L2). The Drishyam franchise (Mohanlal's original Malayalam version that spawned the Hindi remake by Ajay Devgn) is core Aashirvad IP.
