Ajay to begin filming for 'Drishyam 3' in August: Report
What's the story
Ajay Devgn, who first won hearts as Vijay Salgaonkar in the 2015 thriller Drishyam, is set to reprise his role in the third part of the franchise. On Saturday, Pinkvilla reported that Drishyam 3 will go on floors in August 2025 under Abhishek Pathak's direction. Pathak earlier directed Drishyam 2, while Drishyam was directed by late filmmaker Nishikant Kamat. Both movies are based on Mohanlal's Drishyam franchise.
Project commitment
Devgn prioritizes 'Drishyam 3' over other projects
Reportedly, Devgn has prioritized Drishyam 3 over other possible projects. An insider said, "Ajay was committed to doing some other film in the July/August window, but now, the actor has prioritized Drishyam 3 over the other options." "A couple of weeks back, Abhishek Pathak and the writers went and gave a narration of Drishyam 3 to Ajay, and the actor was bowled over with the twists and turns in the screenplay."
Upcoming projects

Before he takes on Drishyam 3, Devgn will finish shooting for De De Pyaar De 2, Dhamaal 4, and Ranger.

An insider said, "Ajay is booked till the end of 2025 with DDPD 2, Dhamaal 4, Ranger and Drishyam 3."
Future plans
