Why Shriya Saran opposes comparisons with the Malayalam film
The actress addressed the debate over whether the Hindi film surpasses Mohanlal’s Malayalam version. Rather than declaring one adaptation superior, Shriya Saran maintained that the differences in their storytelling make direct comparisons unnecessary. “I don’t think there should be any comparison. This film is different, and it cannot be compared to the Malayalam version because the story has been written completely differently.” The Hindi instalment has taken its own narrative direction instead of following the third Malayalam film, which was released earlier this year. Both versions continue Georgekutty’s story, but their differing approaches have prompted viewers to debate which conclusion works better.

After watching ‘Drishyam: The Conclusion’, the veteran actor praised the team for bringing the story to a satisfying close. “I watched Drishyam: The Conclusion, and I am truly impressed with the way they have brought a much-loved journey to a befitting end. Congratulations to Abhishek Pathak, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Ajay Devgn and the entire cast and crew on a job so well done.“
