The most loved thriller franchise of India, Drishyam, is set to continue in Bollywood as Drishyam 3 has been officially announced by the makers of the film on 22 December 2025. The shooting for the movie had very recently started, and now, its official announcement with the release date has come as a surprise for the fans of Ajay Devgn as well as those of the franchise.What is the Drishyam 3 Release Date?The Drishyam 3 release date is 2 October 2026, i.e., Gandhi Jayanti 2026. A few months ago, sources had revealed that the Ajay Devgn starrer would release on this date, and now, the same has been made official.This release date is the best choice for this thriller to bank on its legacy and memes about the events that occurred on 2 October. Additionally, this day is also expected to give the movie a much-deserved solo release and enjoy its complete box office potential.Drishyam 3 Cast, Crew, Story, and MoreThe Drishyam 3 cast consists of Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, Tabu, Rajat Kapoor, and Akshaye Khanna in the lead, along with Saurabh Shukla, Kamlesh Sawant, and Yogesh Soman in supporting roles.Drishyam 3 will be directed by Abhishek Pathak and produced by Star Studio18 and Panorama Studios. While the budget of Drishyam 3 is currently not known, it would definitely be higher than the budget of Drishyam 2 (Rs 50 crore) and Drishyam (Rs 38 crore).Recalling the Drishyam franchise, part 2 ended with writer Murad Ali (Saurabh Shukla) hinting that its climax is the beginning of something big that is going to happen in part 3, raising the excitement for Drishyam 3.Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 is Not a Remake of Malayalam Drishyam 3At the time when the original Malayalam Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph, was announced and began filming, many people came up with the question for Ajay Devgn, “When is Drishyam 3 coming in Bollywood?”Now, while the Bollywood version has been announced, trusted reports say that Ajay Devgn Drishyam 3 will surprisingly not be a remake of Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3. Yes, you read that right. The Drishyam 3 story in Bollywood would be unique, written by Abhishek Pathak, Aamil Keeyan Khan, and Parveez Shaikh, unlike the earlier two installments, which were entirely remakes.The reason behind this decision is said to be that the makers of Bollywood’s Drishyam 3 were not very satisfied with the Mollywood one’s script and hence have decided to take a whole different route.Will Drishyam 3 be a Hit?The past of Bollywood has a lot to learn from, with one major fact being that the third installment of popular franchises has rarely ever resonated with the audience critically as well as commercially. Due to the same, after the latest Drishyam 3 news of it being an original Hindi movie, the Ajay Devgn starrer is attracting the concern of the trade as well as the audience. It is feared that Bollywood’s Drishyam 3 will come but may not resonate with the audience as well as the Malayalam one, or even its own prequels, for that matter, as it would be written by a whole different team of writers. In case the writers fail to do justice to the movie’s script, Drishyam 3 would go from being one of the most anticipated movies of 2026 to one of the biggest disappointments. If this conclusion of Drishyam 3 does manage to see a box office success by banking on its own legacy, there is no guarantee that it will be memorable or critically acclaimed.
