Drishyam 2 skipped its theatrical release and is streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The Telugu remake of the movie was recently announced. The movie starring Victory Venkatesh will go on floors the next month and the plan is to complete it in 50-60 days. Many doubt if the movie will have OTT value as the Original is already available on Amazon Prime Video and is easily the most-watched film on OTT in recent times. Moreover, the makers of Drishyam 2 are planning to release the movie in June itself which means just four months after the OTT release of the Malayalam original.
Victory Venkatesh who is starring in the remake may himself answer that. His next film, Narappa is releasing this Summer. Narappa is the official Telugu remake of Tamil Blockbuster, Asuran starring Dhanush. Asuran is also on Amazon Prime Video and is also a most-watched Tamil film.
If the OTT platforms are genuinely interested in Narappa, there is no reason why they will not be interested in Drishyam 2. Venkatesh acted in Drishyam which was a big hit back then in Telugu. Sripriya directed Drishyam Telugu Remake but the director of the Original, Jeethu Joseph is going to direct Drishyam 2 Telugu Remake.
