Key points
- Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal, is one of the most anticipated Malayalam films
- Actress Ansiba Hassan, who is also part of Drishyam 3, recently said that the film will be a pakka family entertainer
- This raises questions about whether it will not be a thriller, but one cannot take their statements at face value
Mohalal-led Drishyam 3 is yet to start rolling, but is still a hot topic of discussion among cinephiles, who are eager to know what new twist or revelation will director Jeethu Joseph bring in the third installment of the highly anticipated Malayalam thriller franchise. Actress Ansiba Hassan, who played a key role in Drishyam 1 and 2, recently said that the third part will be a pakka family entertainer film. But does that mean Drishyam 3 will not have thriller elements?
Ansiba Hassan on Drishyam 3
The upcoming Malayalam film Drishyam 3 will once again see Mohanlal as Georgekutty, who will go to any extent to protect his family, as part 1 and 2 had depicted. Considered one of the best Malayalam thrillers, Drishyam also features Ansiba Hassan in the role of Georgekutty’s daughter Anju. In a recent interview with The Cue Studio, Ansiba said that Drishyam 3 is for the family audiences
"Expectations are really high for the film. It is a film for the pakka family audience. It is a film meant for all - from grandparents to youth and teenagers. A film that can be viewed by everyone, that will be liked by everyone. Drishyam 3 will be a pakka family entertainer,” remarked Ansiba, who was recently elected as the joint secretary of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA).
However, this does raise an eyebrow as Drishyam 1 revolved around a crime and Georgekutty’s attempts to safeguard his family from the police. Drishyam 2 picks up from where Drishyam 1 ended, as the police continued to monitor his every move, but Georgekutty manages to evade the law. So the third part should also include yet another instance of a cat-and-mouse game between him and the cops.
It also needs to be pointed out that before the release of Drishyam 2, director Jeethu Joseph had also said that the sequel would focus more on the family, but part 2 was also a thriller. So we need to wait for Drishyam 3 to release to know how the story will unfold.
