The shoot of Mohanlal-Jeethu Joseph combo’s much-awaited sequel ‘Drishyam 2’ was originally planned to begin in August. However, with the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases and incessant rain in the state, the shoot has been pushed to September. As per the latest reports, the movie will go on floors from September 7 in Thodupuzha. Adhering to the COVID-19 protocols, the team will begin with the indoor portions first.

As reported earlier, Mohanlal is currently busy prepping for an Onam special programme on a TV channel. The actor was recently spotted with an overgrown beard too. As 'Drishyam 2' shoot will commence soon, several rumours have been doing the rounds that Mohanlal will be sporting the same look in the movie as well. Now, in a recent interview with TOI, director Jeethu Joseph had clarified that it won't be his look for the film. "When he reprises his role as Georgekutty, he wouldn’t need such a long beard,” said Jeethu Joseph.

Since the first part was a huge hit that also went on to be remade in several languages successfully, expectations are high on ‘Drishyam 2’. As per director Jeethu Joseph, the sequel will continue exactly from where the first part ended with the story revolving around the lives of Georgekutty and family. A formal announcement with full details regarding the cast and crew is expected to be made soon.
