The sequel, which released on Prime Video last year, saw Georgekutty's transition from being a cable TV service provider to an aspiring film producer, even as the family continues to deal with their past. The Hindi version's sequel is directed by Abhishek Pathak and presented by Viacom18 Studios, Gulshan Kumar, T-Series and Panorama Studios. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak and Krishan Kumar. Drishyam 2 is set to release theatrically on November 18.
