Ever since the Malayalam thriller, 'Drishyam 2: The Resumption', released digitally in February, there had been chatter that the Mohanlal-starrer would have a Hindi version. Now, it’s official. Producers Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak have acquired the remake rights of Jeetu Joseph’s directorial venture.

The first instalment traced the struggle of Georgekutty (Mohanlal) and his family, who come under suspicion when the son of Inspector General of Police Geetha Prabhakar (Asha Sarath) gets killed. Its 2015 Hindi adaptation, also backed by Pathak, was led by Ajay Devgn portraying Mohanlal's role and Tabu playing the Inspector General of Police. Directed by late Nishikant Kamat, the remake was a massive hit.
