There is no Malayalee who does not remember the movie Drishyam directed by Jeethu Joseph and George Kutty. The scene in which George Kutty, a brainy monster who has come to save his daughter and family after killing a young man named Varun, received a standing ovation at the box office. The makers have already released the news that the poster and movie of Drishyam 3 can be expected soon. There is still a lot of discussion surrounding the film.
The debate is raging whether Mammootty was deliberately left out of the scene from the film. Interesting news is also spreading that director Jeethu Joseph was influenced by Anthony Perumbavoor and Mohanlal to avoid Malayalam megastar Mammootty.
In an interview to a private media, the director said that Mammootty was the first to narrate the story of Drishyam. But because he was doing many films at that time, he said that he did not have a date. Later, when he was told the story of the film Memories, he did not like it. Mammootty opted out of the project not because he did not like the story of Drishyam, but because of the time constraint, he could do the film only after a year and a half. All the discussions are unnecessary. He sat down to do the scene with Mammootty as the hero. He also said that he will soon make a film with Mammootty as the hero.
When Antony approached Perumbavoor to make the film, he heard the story and said he can make it into a film. But he mentioned that what he went to tell Antony was the story of another film and coincidentally told the story of the scene. The director also said that because Mohanlal liked the story, the scene was made under the banner of Ashirwad Productions.
