Drishyam

Drishyam has been a huge success across India with its remakes in multiple languages. The original 2013 Malayalam film featured Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan and Esther Anil in the lead roles. In 2014, it was adapted in Telugu as Drushyam and Drishya in Kannada. In 2015, it was remade in Tamil as Papanasam and Drishyam in Hindi. This doesn't stop here. The film also made its way to its Sinhalese and Chinese remakes as Withanage and The Witness respectively.

After the success of the first film, the sequel, Drishyam 2 was once again remade in Hindi, Telugu and Kannada, featuring prominent actors like Ajay Devgn, Venkatesh, Kamal Haasan and Ravichandran starring in Mohanlal's iconic role. The film is set to get its English adaptation soon.

Talking about Drishyam 3, director Jeetu Joseph revealed to RedFM in Malayalam, "When I made Drishyam in 2013, I did not have a plan for a sequel. It took me five years to zero in on an idea. I had problems in one particular area in the film. Similarly, I am stuck in cracking a certain area in Drishyam 3. I know how to end the movie, but I'm clueless about other areas. The climax of Drishyam 3 is already in my head. I narrated it to Mohanlal sir and he liked it as well. But, I want to crack that one area.”
