Drishyam
2,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
which
is
a
sequel
to
the
2013-released
blockbuster
Drishyam,
is
one
of
the
most-awaited
upcoming
projects
of
Malayalam
cinema.
The
movie,
which
is
written
and
directed
by
hitmaker
Jeethu
Joseph,
is
all
set
to
go
on
floors
very
soon.
Reportedly,
director
Jeethu
is
taking
a
pay
cut
for
the
Mohanlal
starrer.
If
the
latest
reports
are
to
be
true,
the
filmmaker
had
decided
to
take
a
pay
cut
for
the
project
upon
the
request
of
the
Kerala
Film
Producers
Council.
The
council
had
recently
requested
the
Malayalam
stars
to
reduce
their
remuneration,
considering
the
current
situation.
Reportedly,
Jeethu
is
one
of
the
first
filmmakers
to
do
the
same.
As
reported
earlier,
Drishyam
2
is
likely
to
go
on
floors
on
August
17,
Monday,
in
Thodupuzha.
The
Mohanlal
starrer
will
be
extensively
shot
at
the
same
location
where
Drishyam
was
shot,
as
the
project
is
a
continuation
of
its
sequel.
The
makers
of
the
project
have
decided
to
go
against
the
decision
of
the
Kerala
Film
Producers
Association
and
Film
Chamber
by
deciding
to
shoot
amidst
lockdown.
The
project
is
produced
by
Mohanlal's
close
associate
Antony
Perumbavoor
under
the
banner
Aashirvad
Cinema.
Thus,
Drishyam
2
will
mark
the
third
association
of
both
the
complete
actor
and
producer
with
director
Jeethu
Joseph,
after
Drishyam
and
the
upcoming
action
thriller
Ram.
Mohanlal
will
reprise
the
much-celebrated
character
George
Kutty
in
Drishyam
2.
Meena,
the
popular
actress
will
once
again
appear
George
Kutty's
wife
Rani.
Ansiba
Hassan
and
Esther
Anil
will
return
as
the
couple's
daughters.
The
other
prominent
faces
of
Drishyam,
including
Kalabhavan
Shahjohn,
Siddique,
Asha
Sharath,
Neeraj
Madhav,
Kozhikode
Narayanan
Nair,
Sreekumar,
Aneesh
G
Menon,
and
so
will
reprise
their
characters
in
the
sequel.
