Joseph commented on the collaboration and said, “After receiving so much love and appreciation for the ‘Drishyam’ franchise, I am humbled and thrilled to embark on a new journey with this powerhouse team. For my upcoming film in Hindi cinema, I was searching for a story with a strong narrative that has underlying nuances that the audience would relate to at large. This script fits perfectly in every aspect as it will resonate with the pulse of every Indian. I am pleased to have a platform with these two acclaimed production houses like Junglee Pictures and Cloud 9 Pictures to showcase this film.”
Joseph directed the immensely successful Malayalam films Drishyam (2013) and Drishyam 2 (2021) starring veteran actor Mohanlal. These were remade into Hindi with Ajay Devgn playing Mohanlal’s character and Tabu playing the antagonist.
