Akshaye Khanna is the latest entry in the franchise, which features Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, Rajat Kapoor and Tabu, reprising their roles from the first part of the thriller. The film features Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgoankar while Tabu return as Meera Deshmukh, Inspector General of Police.
Drishyam 2, just like its first instalment, is the remake of the acclaimed Malayalam film of the same name starring Mohanlal.

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 Abhishek Pathak and presented Viacom18 Studios, Gulshan Kumar, T-Series and Panorama Studios. Produced Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak and Krishan Kumar. Drishyam 2 is set to release theatrically on November 18.
