Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3: Jeethu Joseph reveals release window, urges audiences to watch it ‘without setting their expectations too high’

SCREEN Exclusive | ‘Drishyam 3 won’t be like Drishyam 1 or 2,’ reveals Jeethu Joseph; opens up about his approach to creating the franchise: ‘My focus is only on…’

“Drishyam is a film that influenced many people, and hence, it carries a weight of its own. That is why I would say one should come watch the movie without setting their expectations too high. You can catch Drishyam 3 (in theatres) in the first week of April. An official announcement will follow soon. I thank you for all the support given so far,” Mathrubhumi quoted Jeethu as saying while taking part in an event held at a private hospital in Kochi.

Prior to Drishyam 3, the director has another movie getting ready for release: Valathu Vashathe Kallan, starring Biju Menon and Joju George in the lead roles. The film will hit the screens on January 30. “It will be a good movie; I am very confident. The teaser was released the other day. It’s not just Drishyam, you know; I am doing other films as well,” Jeethu quipped.
