On February 1, the Central Government gave permission to operate theatres at 100 percent occupancy, provided all safety measures are in place.

Drishyam 2 plot

Drishyam 2 will take place six years after the events of Drishyam. Earlier this month, Mohanlal accidentally spilt the beans on the major plot twist of the film. While talking to Reporter TV, the interviewer asked Mohanlal whether there will be 'Drishyam 3'. Responding to that Mohanlal revealed as Georgekutty is in jail, he should break the prison to begin 'Drishyam 3'. The unexpected statement by Mohanlal made several netizens claim that Georgekutty will be sentenced to prison in the climax of Drishyam 2. Netizens claimed that since there is a scene in the trailer that featured an unknown man carrying a corpse on his shoulder, it could be the new crime in Drishyam 2.
