Drishyam has been one of the most popular suspense-thriller franchises of Mohanlal. While the first installment turned out to be one of the biggest hits of Mollywood, the second too garnered ample attention despite its OTT release. During a recent award ceremony, producer Anthony Perumbavoor confirmed that Drishyam 3 is indeed on the cards and his announcement left fans excited about seeing their favourite superstar return to the role of Georgekutty.
Mohanlal starrer Drishyam, which features Meena as his wife, is all set to return for the third time. During the Mazhavil Entertainment Awards, producer Anthony Perumbavoor announced the return of the franchise and confirmed that the third installment is already in the making. When the producer was invited on stage, he was asked by popular Mollywood actor Tovino Thomas about the update on Drishyam 3. Anthony said, “Drishyam 3 is definitely on the cards. We have already started work on it.” When he was prodded further about how Mohanlal refused to comment on it when the same question was posed to him, the producer added, “He possibly wanted to discuss about it with director Jeetu Joseph. They are yet to have a conversation regarding the same.”
The film garnered a massive response, followed by which it was remade in Tamil with Kamal Haasan, and later in Hindi with Ajay Devgn in the lead. Drishyam 2 is a continuation of the same story and it released directly on OTT, on Amazon Prime. However, in Hindi, the sequel to the suspense thriller is currently under the post production stage and it is expected to release on November 18, 2022.
