Drishyam 3 announcement stalled; Ajay Devgn’s film and the Malayalam team’s creative clause surprise everyone.
Why was the announcement postponed?
The announcement of the third installment of the Drishyam franchise, which was reported to be released on October 2nd, appears to be stalled.
The reason is a creative clause between the Hindi and Malayalam production teams.
It’s being reported that the makers of the Hindi remake cannot disclose the content of their film without the original team, and this rule has now become a hurdle.
What the insider said
An insider said that there is an agreement between Jeethu and Antony (the Malayalam team) and Kumar Mangat, producer of the Hindi remake.
After Mohanlal announced the shoot, the Hindi team suddenly announced the release date, which caused initial friction and triggered the clause.
This move appears to be a defense of creative rights between the two teams.
What the Team and Cast Say
Drishyam 3 will be directed by Abhishek Pathak, who returned to direct Drishyam 2.
The original cast will return—Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, Rajat Kapoor, Kamlesh Sawant, and Akshaye Khanna.
The script is reportedly locked, and dialogue drafts are underway, so preparations for shooting are in full swing.
Shooting Schedule and Release Timeline
According to sources, shooting is scheduled to begin on October 2, 2025, and is a three-month marathon schedule, including real locations and studio sets in Maharashtra.
A release date was planned for Gandhi Jayanti 2026, but an official announcement is currently on hold.
Drishyam’s Legacy
The first film, Drishyam (2013) and Drishyam 2 (2021), achieved pan-India recognition and were remade in several languages.
Jeethu Joseph has advised viewers to watch Drishyam 3 with curiosity rather than high expectations, as it will focus on family drama rather than a thriller.
Producer Antony described the day as memorable and mentioned the emotional connection Mohanlal had with one of his announcements.
What’s Next?
Only after the clauses and rights negotiations will everything become clear.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the final announcement and shooting notice for Drishyam 3.
While the story and cast appear to be finalized, the release timeline remains uncertain.
