Drishyam
2,
the
Mohanlal
starring
family
drama
directed
by
Jeethu
Joseph,
is
one
of
the
most
anticipated
upcoming
films
of
the
Malayalam
cinema.
The
Mohanlal
starrer
recently
started
rolling
in
Kochi,
following
COVID-19
guidelines.
If
the
rumours
are
to
be
believed,
there
are
chances
for
Drishyam
2
to
go
the
OTT
way.
According
to
the
grapevine,
the
leading
OTT
platforms
of
the
country
have
approached
the
makers
for
the
streaming
rights
of
Drishyam
2,
aiming
for
a
worldwide
digital
premiere.
The
rumour
mills
suggest
that
there
are
chances
for
the
Mohanlal
starrer
to
go
the
OTT
way,
as
the
COVID-19
cases
are
increasing
in
the
country
and
the
theatres
might
not
reopen
anytime
soon.
However,
there
is
no
official
confirmation
on
these
reports
yet.
Earlier,
director
Jeethu
Joseph
had
mentioned
that
Drishyam
2
will
bring
back
the
audiences
to
the
theatres,
in
one
of
his
interviews.
It
is
yet
to
see
whether
the
makers
will
opt
for
an
OTT
release
for
the
Mohanlal
starrer,
considering
the
situation.
An
official
statement
on
the
reports
is
expected
to
be
made
very
soon.
The
project
had
recently
made
headlines,
the
reports
that
suggested
that
director
Jeethu
Joseph
is
taking
a
pay
cut
for
the
project,
started
doing
rounds.
Reportedly,
the
Kerala
Film
Producers
Council
has
requested
all
the
actors
and
technicians
to
take
a
pay
cut
for
their
future
films,
considering
the
current
situation.
Jeethu
Joseph
is
one
of
the
first
directors
to
take
a
pay
cut.
Drishyam
2,
which
is
a
sequel
to
the
blockbuster
movie
Drishyam,
will
feature
Mohanlal
once
again
in
the
role
of
Georgekutty.
The
popular
faces
from
the
original
star
cast,
including
Meena,
Ansiba
Hassan,
Esther
Anil,
Asha
Sarath,
Siddique,
and
so
on
are
reprising
their
roles
in
the
sequel
as
well.

produced
by
Antony
