Actor Shriya Saran recently highlighted the compassionate treatment she received from the production team of the thriller sequel Drishyam 2 while she was caring for her infant daughter. Her comments arrive during a broader conversation within the entertainment industry regarding the scheduling flexibility and accommodations required for working mothers on film sets.
During the production schedule, the studio and directors ensured that the actor could balance her demanding professional responsibilities with the needs of her newborn. According to her recent statements, the crew frequently arranged her call sheets to allow her to wrap up her scenes and return home well before her co-star, Ajay Devgn, finished his work for the day. This proactive approach by the production unit significantly eased the transition back to work for the new mother.
The discussion surrounding maternal support in cinema comes as the franchise continues to achieve massive commercial success. The latest installment in the popular mystery series, titled Drishyam: The Conclusion, hit theaters on October 2, 2026. The suspense drama has resonated strongly with audiences across the country, pulling in a domestic box office collection of Rs 212.50 crore following its recent release.
Industry observers note that sharing such behind-the-scenes experiences sheds light on the evolving practices within modern filmmaking. As more prominent actors speak out about the realities of parenting while managing rigorous shooting schedules, expectations regarding studio support for families are shifting. The positive environment experienced by the actor during the filming of the sequel serves as an example of how production houses can accommodate the personal lives of cast members without compromising creative output.
