Drishyam 2 has commenced its shoot in Mumbai with Ajay Devgn and will be extensively shot in Goa in the coming months. The sequel will feature Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran and Ishita Dutta coming together again, while a few new names will be joining the cast.

About the premises, Drishyam 2 begins 7 years after the events of the first film and tests Vijay’s resolve to protect his family, for whom he would cross any limit. This time it's about hiding the same crime again, but with new tricks and a thought provoking redemption for the protagonist.

Talking about Drishyam 2, Ajay Devgn shares, "Drishyam was loved and it’s a legend. I am now elated to present yet another interesting story with Drishyam 2. Vijay is a multidimensional character and he creates an engaging narrative onscreen. Abhishek Pathak (director) has a fresh vision for this film. I’m keenly looking forward to part 2, filling in the large shoes of the earlier film with people investing in the mystery and the characters."

Abhishek Pathak, who is replacing Nishikant Kamat after his demise, adds, "Making an official remake of a successful franchise film is an honour and a challenge. An opportunity to work along with Mr. Ajay Devgn, who is such a powerhouse of talent is a morale-booster for any creative person; his unique influence is undoubtedly the most enriching experience for me personally. It’s exciting to retell a story from your own perspective and vision by divergent visuals in the most justified yet extraordinary way. The setting and the mood of the film uplifts the very essence of the crux, making it gripping from the very beginning.’’

Kumar Mangat Pathak of Panorama Studios said, "We had belief in the story and vision for Drishyam and had produced the first film with great passion and fervour in record time; Being able to remake Drishyam 2 with Ajay Devgn and with Abhishek helming the film gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment."

Producer Bhushan Kumar from T-Series adds, "Ajay Devgn's powerpack performance and prowess in Drishyam definitely captivated the audiences. Retaining the zest, we are delighted to begin filming its sequel that will take this franchise a notch higher as the audiences will witness double suspense, double mystery, double drama."

Drishyam 2 is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak, Krishan Kumar and co-produced by Sanjeev Joshi, Aditya Chowksey and Shiv Chanana. The release date will be announced soon, so stay tuned for updates.
