The idea for Lucifer started in 2016 when Murali Gopi shared the story with Prithviraj during the shooting of Tiyaan at Ramoji Film City. Prithviraj then decided to make Lucifer his first film as a director. The title Lucifer was taken from director Rajesh Pillai’s unfinished project, which also had a separate story written by Murali. Pre-production began in 2017, and Murali completed the final script in February 2018. Filming began in July 2018 and was completed by January 2019. The film was shot in various locations like Thiruvananthapuram, Idukki, Ernakulam, Kollam districts, Mumbai, Bangalore. Lakshadweep and Russia.
Lucifer released worldwide on 28 March 2019 and was also dubbed into Hindi and Telugu. The film broke many box office records for Malayalam films. It grossed ₹50 crore in just four days, ₹100 crore in eight days and ₹150 crore in 21 days, becoming the fastest Malayalam film to reach these targets. Lucifer was the first Malayalam film to gross over ₹200 crore, including its box office collection and revenue from satellite and digital streaming rights in other languages. It is currently the sixth highest grossing Malayalam film. Lucifer is the first part of a planned trilogy, with a sequel titled L2: Empuraan and another untitled film in development.
