EXCLUSIVE: Drishyam 3 has 50-50 chance; Jeethu Joseph opens up on much awaited sequel & Mohanlal's 12th Man
Mohanlal's fourth collaboration with Jeethu Joseph for upcoming film 12th Man is another exciting project that moviegoers cannot wait for.
Mohanlal starrer Drishyam is very close to director Jeethu Joseph's heart. He actually converted his vision into reality with the support of his cast and crew. After successful part 2, moviegoers cannot wait to know what's in store next. Speaking to Pinkvilla, Jeethu Joseph said Drishyam 3 has a 50-50 chance as he is looking for the right script.
While he already has the climax set, the maverick director is looking for the right script to complete the film. "Honestly, after the first, I never thought about the second part. So, I didn't even try but now, the situation is slightly different. I'm working on it (Part 3) I have a climax and I even discussed it with Mohanlal sir and he was excited but to reach that climax I need a lot of scenes right. So, that's my challenging area and I'm working on it. If I get the good ideas, I will work on it because I don't want to do it for the sake of making 3rd part. If I can make a good script for the third, I will definitely do it or else I will leave it. that's the situation but I'm working on it, trying and it makes take another 2, 3 years maybe," said the director.
He further added, "There is a lot of pressure on me for the 3rd part. In Drishyam 2, the challenging part was to maintain the continuiting of that characterization. So again we have to maintain that continuity. It's 50-50 chance."
12th Man will be ready by January end. It is a very different movie and not like Drishyam.
