Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran's recently released big-budget Malayalam film Empuraan has been at the center of controversy ever since its release on March 27. The film has been criticized by a section of viewers for its portrayal of the 2002 Gujarat riots. Following the criticism and a raging political debate, the makers of the film voluntarily re-censored it with 24 cuts. Now, co-producer Gokulam Gopalan has come under the radar of the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
