The sequel Drishyam 2, which was released in 2021 on Amazon Prime Video, has George Kutty, who is now an aspiring film producer, having to deal with his past that he thought he had buried. Both the films won a lot of acclaim for the screenplay and the acting. Besides Mohanlal, the Malayalam original also featured Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil among others.

Drishyam’s Bollywood adaptation had actor Ajay Devgn playing Salgoankar and also featured Tabu as a cop.
