Ajay Devgn starts shooting for the Hindi remake of Mohanlal's 'Drishyam 2' in Mumbai

Ajay Devgn has finally started shooting for the second instalment of 'Drishyam', co-starring Tabu, Shriya Saran and Ishita Dutta. The film is being directed by Abhishek Pathak.

'Drishyam 2' has commenced its shoot in Mumbai with Ajay Devgn and will be extensively shot in Goa in the following months. It begins 7 years after the events in the first film and tests Vijay’s resolve to protect his family for whom he would cross any limits. This movie aims to provide justice to the ‘crime-thriller’ genre in every way possible.

Talking about coming back with 'Drishyam 2', Ajay Devgn shared, "Drishyam was loved and it’s a legend. I am now elated to present yet another interesting story with Drishyam 2. Vijay is a multidimensional character and he creates an engaging narrative onscreen. Abhishek Pathak (director) has a fresh vision for this film. I’m keenly looking forward to part 2, filling in the large shoes of the earlier film with people investing in the mystery and the characters."

Taking over the director's seat for 'Drishyam 2', Abhishek Pathak, who is a National Awardee added, "Making an official remake of a successful franchise film is an honour and a challenge. An opportunity to work along with Mr. Ajay Devgn, who is such a powerhouse of talent is a morale-booster for any creative person; his unique influence is undoubtedly the most enriching experience for me personally. It’s exciting to retell a story from your own perspective and vision by divergent visuals in the most justified yet extraordinary way. The setting and the mood of the film uplifts the very essence of the crux making it gripping from the very beginning.’’
