Malayalam superstar will be taking forward the Drishyam franchise with the second film of the series, Drishyam 2, slated to be out on February 19. Drishyam was remade in Bollywood as a 2015 film of the same name starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu. Mohanlal recently interacted with his fans by starting an 'ask me anything' session on Twitter ahead of the release. And while doing so, Mohanlal has left his fans curious about his possible collaboration with Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan.
There's no denying that after the massive success of Baahubali franchise, the line between South and Hindi film industry began fading. Several pan-India projects have been announced which are being headlined by south superstars like Prabhas, Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer Salmaan and others. So it was pretty reasonable for a fan to express his wish to see Mohanlal doing a film with Akshay Kumar, which will be directed by Priyadarshan during the interactive session. To everyone's surprise, Mohanlal has shown interest in this unique collaboration. Replying to the fan's question, Mohanlal replied, "Let it happen."

While the Malayalam thriller Drishyam was a superhit upon release in 2013, all eyes are on Drishyam 2. Mohanlal, who starred in the first film too, says that the second part got delayed because everyone in the team was willing to create something perfect with this Jeethu Joseph directorial.
"The pressure to present the story and live up to audience expectations was definitely there which is why there was a delay to release the sequel. To bring out a movie with this kind of characters, emotions and intelligence, you need a minimum of seven to eight years. Great things always take time. If you observe carefully, Drishyam 1 was a family drama right till the first half of the movie since one is completely unaware of what is coming their way," he said.
The actor added, "The film picks up the pace with the excitement and suspense going several notches higher in the second half going on to become a nail-biting thriller. Since one already knows the back story in Drishyam 2, the pressure comes in naturally as our story is in competition with itself. Having said that, I am confident that the audience will love the story and the movie."
Drishyam 2 is written and directed by Jeethu Joseph, who also made the 2013 original, and stars Meena, Siddique, Asha Sharath, Murali Gopy, Ansiba, Esther and Saikumar. Starting off from where the first part ended, the film promises to come back with a more thrilling plot. The sequel takes us back to the world of Georgekutty (essayed by Mohanlal) and his family, and narrates how their lives have altered post the fateful night in the first film.
