Drishyam 2 Hindi Remake Faces Controversy As A Legal Case Gets Filed Against The Producer

The blockbuster Malayalam movie Drishyam 2 would be remade in Hindi. Producer Kumar Mangat Pathak of Panorama Studio International confirmed the news that he has brought the Hindi remake rights of Malayalam hit Drishyam 2 – The Resumption. However, even before Drishyam 2 Hindi remake could get on the floors, another announcement about the film has arrived. Recently, it was reported that producer Kumar Mangat is not in agreement with some terms and conditions of the production company.

The company, who co-produced the first part of Drishyam starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu, and Ishita Dutta in main roles have objected to Mangat’s decision of a Hindi remake as they claim that the film’s rights belong to them also.

However, Mangat did not address the issue and went ahead with the stage setup. In response, the production company filed a legal suit against the producer. A source close to the production company informed, “Viacom 18 Motion Pictures have told Mangat that they cannot be dissociated from this project. They have also told him that he cannot make ‘Drishyam 2’ on his own or with someone else. The very fact that Mangat went ahead to set up the stage for it has irked them and hence, they’ve filed a legal complaint against him. The first hearing of the case in question is going to be held very soon.”
