Return Of Georgekutty And Franchise Legacy
Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the film will see Mohanlal reprise his iconic role as Georgekutty. The cast also includes Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Asha Sharath, Siddique, Murali Gopy, and KB Ganesh Kumar.
Mohanlal had wrapped up shooting for the film in December last year. Interestingly, he began working on the project on the same day he received Indian cinema's highest honour, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award.
The Drishyam franchise has been hugely influential in Malayalam cinema. The first film, Drishyam, released in 2013, set a new benchmark for storytelling. Its sequel, Drishyam 2, followed in 2021 and continued the gripping narrative.
