'Drishyam 2' will unravel more secrets of its protagonist Vijay Salgaonkar.
From travelling down to Panjim in a bus to visiting a satsang and eating pav bhaji, the 'Drishyam 2' trail recreated on Sunday in the Goan capital was like living, for a day, the life of Vijay Salgaonkar (played by Ajay Devgn in 'Drishyam').
Without actually taking visiting journalists to real locations, the makers created entire scenes from the movie at a local theatre and tried to make the connect with Vijay Salgaonkar, the lead character in the film.
To jog the memory of the journalists, 'Drishyam' was also screened. Many of those present related to the sequence where Salgaonkar is seen watching a film with his family and enjoying a box of popcorn in the theatre.
The Ajay Devgn-starrer 'Drishyam' (2015), a remake of a 2013 Malayalam film of same name, was about a loving husband and father who tried his best to save his family from police investigations after the son of a police officer goes missing.
Devgn took his fan's curiosity level one notch higher with a brand new poster of his new film on Saturday, October 15. In the poster Devgn is seen holding a shovel in his hand and sporting a smouldering look. The 'Tanhaji' star took to Instagram and shared the post along with the caption, "Sawaal yeh nahin ki aapki aakhon ke saamne kya hai; sawaal yeh hai ki aap dekh kya rahe hain.#Drishyam2. Case Reopens on 18th November, 2022.@tabutiful #AkshayeKhanna @shriya_saran1109 #RajatKapoor @ishidutta #MrunalJadhav @abhishekpathakk #BhushanKumar @kumarmangatpathak."
The fans were besides themselves with excitement. One Instagram user wrote, "Can't wait for the film." Another commented, "Sequel looks so interesting. Super excited."
