Drishyam 2 Trailer:
There is no denying that Bollywood has been undergoing a box-office slump in 2022 and 'Drishyam 2' has been serving as a tonic to revive it. Talking about the same, Ajay Devgn said, "To talk about tonic, I feel it needs three or four Drishyams -- that is what is required, I hope this is the beginning."
He added: "I feel it is not very easy to make entertaining films -- you have to keep the audiences engaged for two and a half hours. And audiences have become very smart, so you can't just give them bullshit. Even when you talk about entertainment in commercial cinema, you have to give them something new."
'Drishyam' is based on the 2021 Malayalam film of the same name, also serving as a sequel to the 2015 film Drishyam, which in turn was adapted from the eponymous 2013 Malayalam film.
Ajay Devgn Upcoming Movies
Next up for Ajay Devgn is 'Bholaa', a remake of the 2019 Tamil-language Lokesh Kanagaraj hit 'Kaithi' (Prisoner), which he is also directing. The film is in post-production and due for a March 2023 release.
Also ready for theatrical release is 'Maidaan', a period biographical soccer film based on the life of the legendary Indian coach Syed Abdul Rahim. The film, which has Priyamani, Rudranil Ghosh and Gajraj Rao in other lead roles, and the music of A.R. Rahman, is scheduled to be released on February 17, 2023.
