The wait for one of Malayalam cinema’s most anticipated sequels just got more exciting. Superstar Mohanlal has reportedly completed his portions for Drishyam 3, the third installment of the iconic thriller franchise directed by Jeethu Joseph. With filming in progress, fans are counting the days to witness the mysterious world of Georgekutty unfold once again.
The Drishyam series is regarded as a milestone in Malayalam film history. The first film not only became an all-time blockbuster but also marked the first Malayalam movie to enter the ₹50-crore club. The second part, released digitally during the COVID-19 pandemic, also turned into a massive hit across OTT platforms, keeping the franchise’s hype alive.
Adding to the excitement, Mohanlal recently announced a new film with director Tharun Moorthy, produced by Aashiq Usman Productions. Industry insiders suggest that this project was initially planned to be directed by Austin Dan Thomas. Reports indicate that this new film will go on floors right after Drishyam 3.
Fans Expect the Ultimate Thriller in Drishyam 3
Given the unprecedented success of the first two parts, expectations are sky-high. Viewers are particularly curious about the new twists Jeethu Joseph will bring to the life of Georgekutty, a character that continues to fascinate Indian cinema audiences.
The Drishyam franchise has seen remakes in multiple languages, including Hindi, where Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, and Tabu played the lead roles. Earlier rumours suggested that the Hindi version of Drishyam 3 might release before the Malayalam original. However, Jeethu Joseph dismissed the speculation, confirming that they are waiting for the completion of the Malayalam script first.
The director has also emphasized that the heart of the story will continue to revolve around the family and Georgekutty’s emotional world, just as in previous instalments.
