Producers Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak's Panorama Studios International acquired the Hindi remake rights of the Malayalam hit 'Drishyam 2 - The Resumption'. The announcement was made on Tuesday by the makers through their official social media handles. Kumar Mangat Pathak from Panorama Studio International shared, "With the huge success of Drishyam 2, the story needs to be told with passion and commitment, and we as Producers are committed to that."

Starring Mohanlal, Meena, Esther and Ansiba Hassan in the lead roles, 'Drishyam 2' earned acclaim upon its release on Amazon Prime Video in February this year. The film is a sequel to the 2013 hit crime drama 'Drishyam', directed by Jeethu Joseph. After its success in Malayalam, Drishyam was remade in a record number of languages, including Hindi.

Its 2015 Hindi adaptation, also backed by Pathak, was led by Ajay Devgn portraying Mohanlal's role and Tabu playing the Inspector General of Police. Directed by late Nishikant Kamat, the remake was a massive hit. "The story of 'Drishyam 2' resonated with people and I am so glad that Panorama Studios will make it reach a wider audience with the Hindi remake. I am looking forward to it," Jeethu Joseph said in a statement.

After the success of Drishyam 2 - The Resumption, the Telugu remake rights were sold at a whopping price. Meena, Kruthika Jayakumar, Esther Anil, and Nadiya are reprising their respective roles from the first part of Telugu Drishyam. However, unlike the first iteration in Telugu, the franchise creator Jeethu Joseph himself directed the second one. The shoot of the movie had also wrapped recently.
