Director Joseph on Drishyam 3: Fear, Tension & Family

Director Jeethu Joseph is preparing "Drishyam 3," which he states will concentrate on Georgekutty's pervasive fear and tension. The upcoming installment explores the psychological toll on the protagonist, whose life is now spent in constant anticipation of consequences. Joseph controversially categorizes the highly successful "Drishyam" franchise not as a thriller, but as a poignant family drama.

He highlights the universal appeal of a father protecting his family, a theme that resonates across cultures, even reaching China. Joseph also aims to broaden his cinematic horizons, actively developing projects in horror and musical genres. Despite the "thriller director" label, he seeks to tell diverse stories, with "Drishyam 3" followed by a Telugu film and a project with Prithviraj Sukumaran.
