Talking to OTTPlay, Jeethu Joseph clarified that the new film is not 'Drishyam 3'. "No, this is not Drishyam 3. I want to make that clear. This is a totally different project," he said.

When asked about the genre, he said, "It's too soon to reveal all those details. Right, we are working on correcting the script. We are yet to go for the recce and finalise other cast members. That's also the reason we haven't announced the movie's title. All this will be revealed in the coming weeks."

Jeethu Joseph's 'Drishyam 3 is one of the most anticipated films. There have been several reports around the film so far. In a recent interview, Joseph dismissed several reports. "The reports claiming that a fitting script has been identified for Drishyam 3 are baseless. As of now, no decisions have been made regarding the project."

"I definitely am contemplating the possibility of Drishyam 3 and am putting in efforts to materialise it. However, I have not yet reached a point where I can confidently embark on writing its script. As a result, no concrete decisions have been made regarding the start of its filming or the approach we will take. Consequently, no decision has been taken regarding the possibility of shooting the film simultaneously with another project (the Hindi version of Drishyam 3)," Jeethu asserted.

Meanwhile, Jeethu and Mohanlal's Ram is yet to complete shoot. The film had gone on floors before the pandemic. The film which will be released as a duology has been shot in the UK as well as Tunisia. On the other hand, Mohanlal also has the much anticipated 'L2: Empuraan' in the pipeline.
