Drishyam was a movie that took each the field workplace and the viewers’ creativeness by storm. To make a sequel to it is certainly a frightening activity, particularly because it was not initially deliberate to be a franchise.

When an actor acts, he is actually writing with his physique, his mind and his entire being. A author, when he writes, actually is an actor with a pen!
