Drishyam
2,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
which
is
a
sequel
to
the
2013-released
blockbuster
Drishyam,
is
one
of
the
most
anticipated
upcoming
projects
of
Malayalam
cinema.
The
Jeethu
Joseph
directorial,
which
started
rolling
as
the
first
film
to
go
on
floors
post
the
lockdown,
was
recently
wrapped.
As
reported
earlier,
the
post-production
works
of
Drishyam
2
are
currently
progressing
in
full
swing.
Now,
the
sources
close
to
the
Mohanlal
starrer
suggest
that
the
project
will
have
a
theatrical
release.
As
per
the
latest
updates,
the
makers
are
planning
to
have
a
theatrical
release
for
Drishyam
2,
and
are
not
intending
to
go
the
OTT
way.
If
things
follow
as
planned,
the
much-awaited
project
will
hit
the
theatres
by
the
first
quarter
of
2021.
To
the
unversed,
earlier
it
was
reported
that
Drishyam
2
might
get
a
direct
OTT
release,
considering
the
increasing
COVID-19
cases
in
the
country.
But
now,
the
theatres
have
opened
in
a
few
major
Indian
cities,
and
things
are
getting
back
to
normal
slowly.
The
theatres
in
Kerala
are
expected
to
reopen,
very
soon.
So,
the
Mohanlal
starrer
might
get
the
chance
to
have
a
grand
theatrical
release,
by
the
first
half
of
2021.
During
the
launch
of
Drishyam
2,
director
Jeethu
Joseph
had
stated
that
the
promising
project
will
bring
back
the
audiences
to
the
theatres.
Mohanlal,
the
leading
man
too
had
shared
his
high
hopes
on
the
project
in
various
recent
interviews.
Drishyam
2
will
feature
all
the
major
faces
of
the
first
installment,
including
Meena,
Ansiba
Hassan,
Esther
Anil,
Asha
Sarath,
Siddique,
and
so
on,
along
with
a
bunch
of
new
additions
to
the
star
cast.
Anil
Johnson
has
composed
the
songs
and
original
score
for
the
movie.
The
Mohanlal
starrer
is
produced
by
Antony
Perumbavoor,
under
the
banner
Aashirvad
Cinemas.
