About Drishyam 3

Production on Drishyam 3 began a few days ago with a pooja ceremony at Sree Narayana Law College in Kochi. Speaking at the event, Jeethu stated that the new film is not conceived on a larger scale than its predecessors. “This simply looks at where Georgekutty’s family is now, about four or five years later. I am not trying to make something bigger than Drishyam 1 or 2. If you are curious to see how their lives have unfolded, that is reason enough to watch,” he said.
