Drishyam 2, directed by prominent filmmaker Jeethu Joseph, is a sequel to the 2013 blockbuster Drishyam and features 'Lalettan' in a desi avatar. Mohanlal had earlier revealed that it will be a gripping and answer the questions left unanswered in the first part.
The Loham star is a powerhouse performer who enjoys an enviable fan following due to his impressive body of work, striking screen presence and humble nature.

Drishyam, which featured 'complete actor' Mohanlal in the role of a protective father, revolved around the story of a young girl who kills her 'tormentor' in an act of self-defense.
The film had a strong cast that included Meena, Ansiba Hassan and Asha Sarath.
Drishyam was remade in multiple languages and this added to its legacy. It remains to be seen whether Drishyam 2 too makes a solid impact at the box office.
Mohanlal will soon also be seen in the period-drama Marakkar that is touted to be a gamechanger for Mollywood. It has a stellar cast that includes Manju Warrier, 'Action King' Arjun Sarja, Keerthy Suresh and Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty. The biggie, helmed by ace filmmaker Priyadarshan, was expected to hit screens in March, but that did not happen due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
'Lalettan' is also likely to be a part of Tollywood director Trivikram Srinivas' film with Jr NTR. One might get clarity on the release dates of these films once theatres reopen
