Ajay Devgn and Tabu are currently gearing up for the release of Drishyam 2. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film also stars Ishita Dutta and Shriya Saran. This time, the makers have added Akshaye Khanna to the star cast. The trailer was unveiled recently and it has got everyone quite excited. It is an official remake of Mohanlal’s Malayalam film Drishyam 2 which was released in 2021. Recently, Pinkvilla got chatty with director Abhishek Pathak who spilled the beans on the possibility of the third part. He also spoke about collaborating with Ajay and adding Akshaye’s character to the film.
During the interview, Abhishek was quizzed about Drishyam 3 and does he plan to make it anytime soon since there is a lot of chatter around it. He clarified that there’s nothing happening at the moment. He also spoke about the original film that was released after 7 years. Abhishek stated, “There is chatter but at the moment there is nothing happening. It’s going to take a little while to write it. They took seven years. If we come up with something, we are going to take a couple of years. They just made the film last year. Drishyam as a franchise, I don’t think no one should hurry to make it. It’s a brand that needs a beautiful screenplay. Till the time you don’t get it, I don’t think anyone will make it. It’s a very intelligent screenplay and a story which is written by Jeethu Joseph. I think he will crack it big time again. He’s brilliant.”
Abhishek Pathak who directed the second chapter of the Hindi language confirmed the next installments of the movie. In a recent interview with ETimes, Abhishek spoke about Drishyam 3 and Drishyam 4. He said, “People are excited, so they are going to make theories on parts 3 and 4. But we’re just about to close our first week now. For sure there’s a demand for part 3, and it shall happen, but we are just happy to be crossing the 100-crore number at the moment. Once we have some time off, we will think about what we’re going to do in the next part but as of now we’re just enjoying every bit of feedback that we’re getting.”
In another interview, Pathak was asked will we also see Devgn return to protect his on-screen family, third time around? To this, the filmmaker replied, “Of course, I will direct Drishyam 3. I’d love to direct all future installments, but let [the third part] get written.”
Drishyam series is a tale of a middle-class man who goes to an extent to mask a crime committed by his daughter for self-defense. Helmed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam 2 has a previous cast including Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Ishita Dutta, Shriya Saran, and Rajat Kapoor among others. The star cast is joined by Akshaye Khanna as a new entrant in the story. The suspense thriller is produced under the banners of Panorama Studios.
