It’s not easy to get Akshaye Khanna’s nod for a project. But director Abhishek Pathak had enough faith in the story of Drishyam 2 to know that it would be difficult for the actor to turn it down. “When we met Akshaye at his Alibaug farmhouse, he was concerned about how much of a role he could play since the world had been set up. I asked him to read the screenplay. By the time I reached home at night, he called to say that he loved it,” recounts the director.
