The adaptation is written and directed by Danial Rifki, whose previous work includes Dendam Malam Kelam, itself a remake of the Spanish mystery El Cuerpo. Speaking about the project, it was shared by Falcon Pictures producer Frederica that excitement surrounded the adaptation because of Rifki's experience handling layered thrillers. It was also stated that pairing Bastian and Timothy as rivals adds a rare emotional tension to the film.
The Drishyam franchise has steadily grown into one of Indian cinema's most travelled stories. Besides remakes in four Indian languages, it has already inspired Sinhala and Chinese versions. Original producer Antony Perumbavoor expressed pride over the development, noting that Drishyam continuing to cross languages and countries reflects the universal strength of the story.
The Indonesian adaptation is expected to arrive in theatres on August 20, extending the thriller's remarkable international journey.
