Mohanlal has officially confirmed that Drishyam 3 will release in theatres on April 2, 2026. The Jeethu Joseph directed film is the third installment in the popular Malayalam thriller franchise. The superstar made the announcement by releasing a thrilling video that recapped the major events of the previous films.
The announcement video ominously states “The past never stays silent,” hinting that another gripping thriller is on the cards. This sets up the film perfectly for the long Easter holiday weekend, giving audiences the perfect opportunity to catch the highly anticipated sequel.
Mohanlal Shares Thrilling Recap Video
In the short animated video shared by Mohanlal on social media, viewers see the events from the first Drishyam film unfold. The video begins with the crime scene after Varun’s murder and the hiding of evidence. It then showcases the events of Drishyam 2 where Georgekutty came up with a clever film plot to outsmart the police.
The video ends with a close up of Georgekutty’s family, featuring Mohanlal along with actors Meena, Ansiba Hassan, and Esther Anil. The announcement has created massive excitement among Malayalam cinema fans.
Hindi Version With Ajay Devgn In October
While the Malayalam version releases on April 2, the Hindi remake of Drishyam 3 starring Ajay Devgn will hit theatres on October 2, 2026. This gives audiences two major releases from the same franchise in the same year, catering to fans across different language markets.
The Drishyam franchise has been a massive success in both Malayalam and Hindi cinema. The Ajay Devgn starrer Hindi versions have collected impressive numbers at the box office.
What To Expect From Drishyam 3
Drishyam 3 will continue the story of Georgekutty, who outsmarted cops in the first two films.
