Jeethu also highlighted how the characters have evolved over time, saying that he had retained some of Georgekutty’s fundamental traits, as they were essential to the character. He explained that the same applied to everyone in the family, including Rani (Meena) and the kids, Anju (Ansiba) and Anu (Esther). He added that the children’s characters, in particular, continue to evolve, noting that Anu was just a child when the incident occurred but has now grown up.
The story will progress naturally
Jeethu Joseph also explained that the world around Georgekutty and his family is evolving too. “The surroundings and the people have changed. In the first part, the people around him believed Georgekutty was innocent. In Part 2, however, many of them were like, ‘No, there’s something else.’ Their view changed. I have employed a similar organic approach in Part 3 as well. It was never like, ‘Since Part 2 became a hit, I’ll do so and so to make Part 3 a hit.’”
Jeethu Joseph explained that his approach for the Drishyam franchise is based on what could have realistically happened within Georgekutty’s family and their lives. He added that audiences would understand this when Part 3 releases, and noted that just as Drishyam 2 was different from the first film, Drishyam 3 would not be like Part 2.
