Sequel to Mohanlal's 2013 film 'Drishyam' was released recently and just like the original, it has managed to thrill the audience. Since the Hindi remake was very successful it is evident that makers will try to remake the sequel as well. Producer Kumar Mangat has secured the rights to remake the sequel.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, " Ajay Devgn and Kumar Mangat had decided to buy the rights to remake Drishyam 2 ever since it was announced. Now, they are putting together a team to bankroll the project. Ajay Devgn is also chalking out his dates to schedule this film sometime later this year. He will return with Tabu for Drishyam 2 and the makers are eyeing to go on the floors around the last quarter of 2021 after Ajay wraps up work on his other films. They wish to release it sometime next year."

Although Tabu, Shriya Saran and Ishita Dutta are supposed to reprise their roles from the original but the untimely demise of Nishikant Kamat has left the director's chair vacant.
