Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal in the lead role, is slated to release in theatres on April 2, 2026. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the highly anticipated sequel is now rumored to skip its scheduled release date.
Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 to skip April 2, 2026 release?
According to ongoing online reports, the Mohanlal-starrer Drishyam 3 was initially planned for a theatrical release on April 2, 2026. However, it now appears that the makers may skip this date and are instead aiming for a release in May or June 2026.
The possible delay is reportedly due to the film’s unavailability for release in GCC countries under the current social environment. While this remains unconfirmed, an official update is expected from the makers soon.
As the postponement of Drishyam 3 is yet to be confirmed, the delay could benefit the box office performance of films like Aadu 3, as well as upcoming releases such as Nivin Pauly’s Prathichaya and Vaazha 2.
