Ever since Mohanlal and Jeetu Joseph unveiled Drishyam 3, anticipation has been sky‑high. The director has been clear that the sequel is not a cash‑in. It’s an organic continuation that respects the franchise’s legacy. He stresses the film will follow Georgekutty and his family naturally, without forcing hype or trying to outdo Drishyam 2 artificially.
Jeetu Joseph explains his script stays focused on what the characters have lived through in the six to seven years since the last installment, noting how both the environment around Georgekutty and the opinions of those around him have evolved, from universal belief in his innocence to growing suspicion. This authentic, character driven approach will carry over into the third chapter, promising the same emotional depth fans love.
Principal photography for the Malayalam version is already underway, while the Telugu shoot is slated to begin early 2026. Meanwhile, the Hindi remake led by Ajay Devgn is confirmed for a 2 October 2026 release, with Abhishek Pathak at the helm and a production partnership between Panorama Studios, Viacom18 and T‑Series.
With Mohanlal’s return, Jeetu Joseph’s seasoned storytelling, and a release window set for late 2025 in Malayalam and 2026 for the Hindi version, Drishyam 3 is positioned to be a major event in Indian cinema, delivering suspense, family drama, and the timeless battle of a father protecting his loved ones.
