Production house Panorama Studios International, which had acquired the Hindi remake rights of the Malayalam hit film Drishyam 2, assured Bombay High Court it would not begin shooting till the copyright suit filed against it is pending. Viacom 18 Media Pvt Ltd had last week approached HC seeking an order restraining Panorama Studios International from producing any sequel to the movie in Hindi. Viacom also filed an application seeking interim relief by way of injunction which was heard by Justice Gautam Patel on Wednesday. In 2017, Panorama Studios approached Viacom seeking to produce the prequel or sequel of the movie, but the proposal did not work out due to disagreement over terms. Later, Viacom learnt Panorama had acquired the rights to remake the sequel of the movie, after which it approached HC.
