The 2013 Drishyam was one of Malayalam cinema's most engaging thrillers. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the movie turned out to be a huge blockbuster and is considered as one of the highest grossing films of all time in Mollywood. Starring Mohanlal in the lead, Drishyam had him play Georgekutty, a simple family man who, despite his half-education, uses his ingenuity to protect his wife and two daughters from being trapped in a crime they accidentally committed. Drishyam 2: Sequel To Mohanlal-Starrer Owes Its Existence to Fan-Fiction; Director Jeethu Joseph Reveals How!
