After kickstarting the production for the Telugu remake of the critically acclaimed Malayalam movie Drishyam 2 on March 2, the filming is progressing at a brisk pace. Actor Venkatesh Daggubati, who is reprising Mohanlal’s role from the original, recently wrapped up the shooting for his portions in Drushyam 2.
Suresh Productions, which is bankrolling Drushyam 2, took to Twitter to give fans an update about the production and announced that actor Venkatesh Daggubati has wrapped up shooting for his portions. Sharing a photo featuring the lead actors from the movie.
Actors Meena, Kruthika Jayakumar, Esther Anil and Nadiya are reprising roles from the Telugu prequel Drushyam, which hit the big screens in 2014. However, unlike Drushyam, the sequel is directed by Jeethu Joseph, who directed the original Malayalam movies — Drishyam and Drishyam 2.
The movie is jointly produced by Antony Perumbavoor and Suresh Babu Daggubati under the banners of Aashirvad Cinemas and Suresh Productions respectively. Satheesh Kurup is on board as the cinematographer, while the project has music by composer Anup Rubens.
