Production details
What to expect from 'Drishyam 3'
Mohanlal revealed that the production of Drishyam 3 will kick off with a pooja ceremony. He then plans to head to New Delhi for the National Film Awards. The Drishyam franchise started in 2013 with Georgekutty's story, a cable TV operator who goes to great lengths to protect his family after a crime. The second part, Drishyam 2, was released in 2021 and continued the story years later.
Franchise evolution
Film has been adapted in several Indian languages
Earlier, director Jeethu Joseph had hinted that Drishyam 3 would be a natural progression of Georgekutty's story. It will not follow the complex thriller format of the last part. The films have been remade in several Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, as well as in Chinese, making it one of the most widely adapted Indian film series. Mohanlal was last seen in Hridayapoorvam.
