Amazon
Prime
recently
launched
the
trailer
of
its
upcoming
Telugu
crime-thriller
Drushyam
2
starring
the
super
talented
Venkatesh
Daggubati.
The
film's
helmer
Jeethu
Joseph
now
opens
up
about
his
journey
with
thrillers
and
what
made
people
tag
him
as
a
thriller
director.
On
being
asked
about
his
relationship
with
thrillers,
Jeetu
shares,
"I
have
done
comedy
films,
I
have
done
family
dramas,
but
people
tag
me
as
a
thriller
director.
Personally
speaking,
I
like
to
watch
mystery
movies.
Since
my
childhood,
I
have
watched
Amanda
Christie
novels,
Sherlock
Holmes,
so
of
course,
I
have
an
inclination
towards
the
genre.
But
as
a
filmmaker,
I
want
to
do
all
kinds
of
films."
He
further
adds,
"My
first
film
was
an
investigation
movie,
my
second
film
was
Mummy
and
Me
which
was
a
family
film.
I
have
also
done
a
comedy
film
with
Nidhi,
but
my
4th
and
5th
were
thrillers-
Memories
and
Drishyam.
So
2
thrillers
back-to-back
and
immediately
people
started
expecting
thrillers
from
me.
Even
producers
started
asking
me
for
thriller
subjects.
So
I
like
thrillers
and
mystery.
Everything
for
that
matter."
On
speaking
about
his
future
plans,
Jeetu
shares,
"Actually
I'm
planning
for
a
family
comedy,
a
love
story,
because
doing
back-to-back
thrillers
is
also
boring,
as
in
the
making
and
the
shots
are
almost
same.
But
I
like
thrillers."
On
being
quizzed
about
his
reluctance
to
remake
his
own
film,
Jeethu
reveals,
"My
inspiration
was
Kamal
sir.
When
it
comes
to
Telugu,
my
excitement
is
Bingde
sir,
Naresh
sir,
Barnee
sir
and
I'm
meeting
different
artists
who
are
all
very
experienced,
being
in
the
industry
for
the
last
20-25
years.
So
I
love
sitting
with
them
and
talking
to
them,
which
made
me
love
making
this
film."
