The highly anticipated Drishyam 3, part of the successful Malayalam franchise by Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph, has confirmed its release date. The Malayalam version is set to hit theaters on February 20, 2026, while the Hindi version is scheduled for October 2, 2026. The Telugu version is yet to start shooting, with Venkatesh's busy schedule causing delays.
The Drishyam franchise has become a pan-India brand, with the first part being an industry hit and the second part releasing directly on OTT platforms due to COVID-19. Drishyam 3 promises to continue the suspense and intrigue, with Jeethu Joseph directing and Mohanlal reprising his role as Georgekutty.
The release strategy for Drishyam 3 has sparked interest, with the Malayalam version debuting first, followed by Hindi and Telugu adaptations two months later. Director Jeethu Joseph clarified that the team is considering a staggered release to maximize impact, given the current OTT landscape. But, Venkatesh is busy with Trivikram's Aadarsha Kutumbam Inti No 47 and reports suggest he might join hands with Anil Ravipudi again for the sequel of Sankranthiki Vasthunnam.
With the release dates confirmed, fans are eagerly awaiting the next instalment of the Drishyam series. The success of the franchise and the anticipation surrounding Drishyam 3 make it one of the most talked-about movies in Indian cinema.
