Soon after the announcement, fans started sharing the video clip of Anthony’s confirmation on social media as they rejoiced the return of Georgekutty. The first installment of Drishyam which released in 2013, featured Mohanlal as a simple middle-class man, who decides to play a cat-and-mouse game with the police when his daughter gets caught up in the murder of a classmate, who sexually harasses her.

The film garnered a massive response, followed by which it was remade in Tamil with Kamal Haasan, and later in Hindi with Ajay Devgn in the lead. Drishyam 2 is a continuation of the same story and it released directly on OTT, on Amazon Prime. However, in Hindi, the sequel to the suspense thriller is currently under the post production stage and it is expected to release on November 18, 2022.
