Ajay Devgn never watched the original 'Drishyam'

Ajay Devgn's film Drishyam has released this Friday. The film is a remake of the Malyalam film Drishyam, a number of its versions have been made in other southern languages.

Generally, while making a remake, the directors ask the actors to watch the original version of the film to get the subtlety of the characters. But this is not the case with Ajay Devgn. 

The Singham star has revealed that he never watched the original starring Mohanlal. He said, "I’ve not seen the Malayalam film. This is my take of the character because Mohanlal is a fabulous actor and I didn’t want to get into his shoes."

And when asked what is it that is different about the film, he said, "Hopefully something different, because Drishyam  is about the character of a common man who has got a lot of shades. He shows a visual which is deceptive and manages to practically con the whole police force.”
