Jeethu Joseph reveals organic approach behind ‘Drishyam 3’
Meanwhile, director Jeethu Joseph recently spoke about the creative process behind the third chapter of the franchise. In an interview with SCREEN, he explained that Drishyam 3 was not designed to top its predecessors, but to naturally continue Georgekutty’s evolving story.
He noted that changing perspectives, shifting environments, and the lingering burden of the past play a crucial role in shaping the narrative.
“My focus is only on Georgekutty and his family, and what could have happened in their lives over these years,” Jeethu said, assuring viewers of another grounded and compelling instalment.
Expectations are sky-high, as both Drishyam and Drishyam 2 became massive critical and commercial successes.
Mohanlal’s recent work
Mohanlal was last seen in Sathyan Anthikad’s Hridayapoorvam, which earned positive reviews and proved successful at the box office. As fans eagerly await Drishyam 3, this latest viral moment with Esther has only added to the excitement.
