Drishyam
2
is
all
set
to
release
on
February
19,
2021
on
Amazon
Prime
Video.
The
massive
announcement
was
recently
(February
6)
made
during
the
trailer
launch
of
the
film.
Though
the
trailer
was
initially
planned
to
be
released
on
February
8,
the
unfortunate
leak
left
the
makers
with
no
other
option
than
to
unveil
it
minutes
later.
Helmed
by
Jeethu
Joseph,
Drishyam
revolves
around
Georgekutty,
who
hatches
several
plots
to
protect
his
family
from
the
law
and
police,
after
his
elder
daughter
commits
a
grave
crime
to
defend
herself.
Actor
Mohanlal
plays
the
role
of
Georgekutty,
a
protective
father
and
a
school
dropout
who
manages
to
find
loopholes
inspired
by
films,
to
save
his
family
from
the
grasp
of
the
law.
Drishyam
2
follows
up
on
the
story.
FilmiBeat
was
a
part
of
Mohanlal's
exclusive
interaction
with
the
media,
wherein
the
actor
opened
up
about
playing
the
role
of
Georgekutty,
shooting
post-COVID-19
lockdown,
his
favourite
version
of
Drishyam
and
much
more.
Excerpts.
Georgekutty
Is
A
Mystery!
When
asked
about
revisiting
Georgekutty
and
meeting
the
Drishyam
team
after
7
years,
Mohanlal
said,
"For
me,
Georgekutty
is
a
mystery.
Still,
I
don't
know
what
is
his
character,
his
emotions
and
his
strength.
Nobody
knows
about
it.
I
was
very
confused
to
portray
Georgekutty
because
you
cannot
show
his
emotions
to
the
people
so
he
was
suppressing
all
his
emotions
and
projecting
some
other
kind
of
emotions
outside.
If
you
watch
the
whole
film
you
can
see
Georgekutty
is
in
a
different
trance.
Portraying
Georgekutty
was
not
a
challenge,
but
to
script
Drishyam
2
was
very
difficult
and
Jeethu
has
succeeded
in
that."
"To
see
Rani
(Meena)
and
my
children
after
7
years,
their
problems
and
no
body
knows
about
that
because
people
especially
the
audience
do
not
know
about
Georgekutty's
life.
So
something
again
is
coming
to
Georgekutty's
house
and
we
do
not
know
how
he
is
going
to
handle
it.
So
Georgekutty
for
me
is
a
mystery,"
he
added.
Mohanlal's
Favourite
Version
Of
Drishyam
Revealing
that
he
has
seen
and
loved
all
the
versions
of
Drishyam,
the
actor
said,
"I
have
seen
Tamil,
Telugu,
Kannada
and
Hindi.
All
these
movies
are
good
because
the
storyline
is
so
strong.
So
hopefully
we
will
watch
Drishyam
2
in
Tamil,
Telugu,
Kannada,
Hindi
and
in
Chinese
also."
Similarity
Between
Mohanlal
And
Georgekutty
Talking
about
the
similarity
between
Mohanlal
and
Georgekutty
from
Drishyam,
the
actor
said,
"I
know
about
Mohanlal
at
least
a
little,
but
I
do
not
know
about
Georgekutty.
He
is
a
mystery.
His
behavioural
pattern,
his
character,
his
way
of
dealing
things
and
family
bonding.
It's
a
mystery
for
me.
Drishyam
2
is
also
a
mystery
for
me.
If
you
watch
the
film
you
can
see
Georgekutty
is
within
so
many
things.
You
will
have
to
watch
Drishyam
2
at
least
2-3
times,
only
then
you
will
understand
it."
Going
Back
To
The
Sets
Of
Drishyam
2
Post
COVID-19
lockdown
Sharing
his
experience
of
getting
back
to
sets
after
almost
6
months
due
to
the
COVID-19
lockdown,
Mohanlal
said,
"I
didn't
find
any
difficulty
because
for
the
last
43
years
I
am
acting
and
it
is
Drishyam,
so
I
know
about
the
story,
the
script
and
colleague.
It
is
like
coming
back
to
my
family
after
6
months."
Fear
And
Georgekutty
Equals
Drishyam
2?
Calling
fear
a
major
element
of
both
Drishyam
and
Drishyam
2,
Mohanlal
went
on
to
say,
"Fear
is
the
reason
for
so
many
things.
You
cannot
distribute
the
fear
to
everyone.
Georgekutty
also
has
fears.
He
is
just
cooling
down
the
family
tension
and
is
ready
to
fight
to
protect
his
family
in
a
safe
and
sound
manner.
There
is
fear
and
that's
why
Drishyam
2
happened
and
people
want
to
know
what
is
going
to
happen?
What
is
the
fear?
And
who
is
the
villain?
So
you
will
have
to
watch
the
film
to
get
all
these
answers."
On
a
related
note,
the
supporting
cast
of
Drishyam
2
includes
Meena,
Esther
Anil,
Ansiba,
Asha
Sharath,
Kalabhavan
Shajon,
Siddique
and
Roshan
Basheer
among
others.
The
film
will
begin
where
the
first
part
ended
and
is
expected
to
answer
all
the
unanswered
questions
in
Drishyam,
that
left
the
audience
in
awe.
