About the film Drishyam 3
Director Jeethu Joseph returns to helm the project, with production launched after a puja ceremony near Kochi in September 2025. Filming took place across Thodupuzha, Vagamon, and Ernakulam in Kerala. The director has indicated that the story resumes four and a half years later, while cautioning viewers not to expect excessive thriller elements. Meanwhile, Asha Sharath has suggested that the climax will deliver surprises.
Apart from Mohanlal, the familiar faces including Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Murali Gopy, and Siddique will also reprise their roles and are there to ensure the continuity as Georgekutty’s saga enters its next phase. More details about the plot are not known yet. However, through the posters we can see the intense emotional depth and edge-of-the-seat suspense that shaped the earlier chapters will remain at the heart of the new installment. The Malayalam film will enjoy a solo window, as the Hindi adaptation starring Ajay Devgn in the lead is slated for October 2, 2026.
