As a lifestyle expert, I’m always on the lookout for fascinating insights into the world of cinema, and one such intriguing tidbit is about Mohanlal’s iconic crime thriller franchise, Drishyam. This series has undeniably captured the hearts of countless viewers, with multiple installments that have kept us hooked. But did you know that the esteemed actor was not initially the first choice for this movie? That’s right; there was another actor who was originally considered for the role! Isn’t it fascinating how things can change in the film industry?
Indeed, you’ve understood correctly! It wasn’t Mohanlal but another Malayalam legend, Mammootty, who was initially approached for the movie. According to reports, director Jeethu Joseph approached him after he finished writing the script.
Yet, although this project was extensive and enticing, Mammootty graciously declined, as he had portrayed comparable characters before and wanted to avoid being stereotyped further.
Nevertheless, the Bazooka star enthusiastically backed the project and showed keen curiosity about how the movie could become a success. Interestingly, it was Mammootty who proposed that actress Meena join the project, and she ultimately portrayed Mohanlal’s on-screen spouse in the Malayalam film.
To put it simply, the movie Drishyam was an overwhelming success at the theater, becoming a blockbuster hit. Its initial release took place in 2013, with a sequel appearing in 2021. Both parts of this film featuring Mohanlal garnered massive box office earnings and were adored by fans for their exceptional quality.
Continuing on, the movie Drishyam was adapted into various dialects such as Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. In the Bollywood version, it starred Ajay Devgn as the main character.
