When discussing 'Drishyam 3', Mohanlal was cautious about revealing too much, stating, “If I say something about that… My God, that is the most secret thing….”
He elaborated on the complexities involved in creating 'Drishyam 3', emphasizing that the filmmakers aim to meet audience expectations. He remarked, “It’s in the pipeline. We are preparing. It is not that easy. Drishyam 2 happened, and now it’s a big challenge to make Drishyam 3. We are in the process of that…We don’t want to disappoint you, so we should be very careful. I cannot make any comments on that because it’s in the pipeline.”
The 'Drishyam' series centers around Georgekutty and his family, whose lives are turned upside down when they become suspects in the disappearance of the son of IG Geetha Prabhakar. The cast includes Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Asha Sharath, Siddique, Kalabhavan Shajohn, Roshan Basheer, and Neeraj Madhav. Notably, 'Drishyam 2' takes place six years after the events of the first film.
'Drishyam 2' was released directly on Prime Video in 2021. Both films have been adapted into Hindi, featuring Ajay Devgn in the role originally played by Mohanlal. The Hindi adaptations also included actors like Tabu, Akshaye Khanna, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, and Rajat Kapoor. Reports suggest that Ajay Devgn will reprise his role in the Hindi version of 'Drishyam 3', although it remains unclear if it will follow the storyline of Mohanlal's film or present an original narrative.
