Did Jeethu Joseph finish writing Drishyam 3?
Jeethu Joseph recently appeared as the chief guest for the inauguration of the Film and Drama Club at Nirmala College, Muvattupuzha. During his speech, the director said, “I finished writing the climax of Drishyam 3 last night. I’ve been under immense pressure for a long time.”
“Between the shoots of Mirage and Valathu Vashathe Kallan, I would wake up every day at 3:30 a.m. to write. It was a real struggle, physically and mentally exhausting. But yesterday, I finally felt a sense of relief,” he added.
Continuing his words, Jeethu added how when he walked onto the stage, the theme music for Drishyam was playing. In that moment, the visuals from the first part, the sequel, and now the 3rd part came to him.
