Drishyam 3 is the upcoming installment in the crime thriller franchise directed by Jeethu Joseph. The original Drishyam follows the story of Georgekutty, a middle-class man who leads a modest life with his wife and daughters.
Their lives take a drastic turn when Georgekutty and his family come under suspicion after IG Geetha Prabhakar’s son, Varun Prabhakar, goes missing. With several clues pointing toward Georgekutty’s involvement, the film explores the truth and how the family navigates an intense investigation.
Released in 2021, Drishyam 2 continued the narrative by exploring new dimensions of the story. With the third installment, the franchise is expected to delve into yet another chapter in the family’s life.
Apart from Mohanlal, the third film will feature Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Asha Sharath, Murali Gopy, and Siddique, among others, reprising their previous roles. Initially, the film was scheduled to release on April 2, 2026, but it was later postponed to coincide with Lalettan’s birthday this year.
The Hindi remake, also titled Drishyam 3 and starring Ajay Devgn, is set to release on October 2, 2026.
