The wait for Drishyam 3 has kept fans on edge since director Jeethu Joseph teased the potential of the third installment. The veteran actor Mohanlal recently confirmed that the much-loved franchise is returning with its third chapter. But here’s the true twist— the crime thriller won’t persist with just Malayalam. If reports are accurate, the film is also released in Hindi this time. This has sparked a burning query: Will it affect Ajay Devgn’s Hindi remake?
Mohanlal & Jeethu Joseph Aim For Pan-India Appeal
The guts of the Drishyam franchise has at all times been its suspense. Yet, despite arriving two years after the originals, the Hindi adaptations pulled in big crowds. Ajay Devgn’s versions of Drishyam (2015) and Drishyam 2 (2022) were box office gold, though the audience was already aware of the plot.
Based on a report by Mid-Day, director Jeethu Joseph and Mohanlal are keen to make Drishyam 3 a bilingual offering. The plan is to release it in each Malayalam and Hindi, targeting a wider pan-India audience. A source revealed, “Buoyed by the past two editions’ success, Jeethu, Mohanlal, and producer Antony Perumbavoor are determined to present this outing a national scale.”
The team is setting the stage to start filming by the tip of May. Mohanlal will once more reprise his role as Georgekutty, who’s at all times one step ahead of the law. Shooting will happen in Thodupuzha, Kerala. A number of the sets used for Drishyam 2 in Kudayathoor may additionally be reused.
Trouble Brewing For Ajay Devgn’s Version?
While Mohanlal’s version is already moving forward, Ajay Devgn’s Hindi remake remains to be on hold. Director Abhishek Pathak is reportedly finalizing the script, and the actor is busy with other projects like Dhamaal 4 and Ranger. His version of Drishyam 3 is predicted to roll out only by October this yr.
If Mohanlal’s version releases earlier in Hindi, it could seriously dent the appeal of Ajay’s remake. A source identified, “Certainly one of the the reason why Ajay’s Drishyam has been successful to date is since the Malayalam original didn’t tap into the Hindi-speaking audience. But when Mohanlal’s movie releases much sooner than Ajay’s, that too in Hindi, it could actually be disadvantageous to the latter since they each at all times share story and plot points.”
One thing is evident — the largest mystery isn’t on screen, it’s who will release Drishyam 3 first.
