Samvedna Suwalka returns as Advocate Gayatri Mohan in Drishyam: The Conclusion, recalls her memorable experience of shooting with Ajay Devgn

Samvedna Suwalka is all set to return as Advocate Gayatri Mohan in Drishyam: The Conclusion, reprising the role she first played in Drishyam 2. As she steps back into the world of the franchise, the actor looks back at the experience that made her first stint with the film so memorable.

Recalling the shoot of Drishyam 2, Suwalka reveals that she was initially quite nervous about her courtroom sequence. Having to perform alongside a stellar cast that included Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Rajat Kapoor made the experience even more daunting.

She shares, “Shooting for Drishyam 2 was one of the best shoots of my life. Back in 2022, when I landed the role, I was very nervous because I thought I would have to perform my courtroom monologue in front of the whole cast, which includes greats like Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Rajat Kapoor! Well, that didn’t happen, but I still had to do it in a courtroom full of people and it’s like performing in front of a live audience. And of course, there was the Ajay Devgn!”

What made the experience particularly special for Suwalka was the creative freedom she received from director Abhishek Pathak. Rather than dictating how Samvedna should approach the scene, Abhishek encouraged her to bring her own interpretation to the character and suggested doing a take her way before deciding what worked best.

“To the director Abhishek Pathak’s credit, he gave me the creative liberty to perform Gayatri the way I saw fit. He said, ‘Let’s do a take your way and then see if that works,’ and luckily he approved it in one take! And that day when Ajay sir was leaving the courtroom, he patted my back! Best day,” she further stated.

Riding high on the success of her latest release Get, Set, Go, Samvedna Suwalka is now gearing up to step back into the courtroom as Advocate Gayatri Mohan in Drishyam: The Conclusion. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Rajat Kapoor, Prakash Raj, Jaideep Ahlawat along with Samvedna Suwalka in pivotal roles and is slated to release on 2nd October 2026.
