Chennai, Feb 13 (IANS) Actor Mike Novikov, who has acted in director Prithviraj’s upcoming political action drama L2: Empuraan(L2E) says that he was invited to India for his role in the second part and that it was an amazing experience.
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, who plays the lead in the film on Thursday introduced Mike Novikov as Sergei Leonov in the film.
Taking to his social media pages, Mohanlal tweeted, “Character No.27 Mike Novikov as Sergei Leonov in #L2E #EMPURAAN.” A link to a YouTube video in which Novikov was seen explaining about his character in the film was also posted.
Novikov, in the video, said, “In this amazing movie, I play the Russian gangster Sergei Leonov. Actually, I was filmed in the first part of Lucifer in 2019 in Russia. It was only one day of shooting. But after five years, this turned out to be an interesting role. I was invited to India. It was an amazing experience. It was my first time to India and I loved the country. Completely different culture, customs and traditions. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire unit. They are all great professionals and it was a big pleasure and an honour to work with such a great team on such a unique project. I am sure this film will be very successful.”
