The highly anticipated third installment of the "Drishyam" franchise, starring Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph, is reportedly gearing up to begin filming in September 2025. This news has sparked excitement among fans of the Malayalam thriller series, which has garnered widespread acclaim and spawned remakes in various languages.

According to recent reports, the filming schedule for "Drishyam 3" may lead to further delays for another project featuring Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph, titled "Ram." With the dates potentially aligning for "Drishyam 3," the actor-director duo is likely to prioritize this sequel. While details about the movie are still emerging, an official confirmation of its production is awaited.

The "Drishyam" franchise revolves around the character of Georgekutty, played by Mohanlal, who expertly navigates his family through unforeseen circumstances while protecting them from the law. The first film, released in 2013, was a massive success in Malayalam cinema, becoming the first Malayalam film to surpass the 50 crore mark. The second installment, released in 2021, continued the gripping narrative and received positive responses from audiences and critics alike.

Jeethu Joseph, the director of the "Drishyam" series, has become synonymous with the franchise's success. His intricate storytelling, suspenseful plot twists, and ability to create compelling characters have captivated audiences. Joseph is reportedly quite busy in 2025, with potentially three back-to-back films.

The success of the "Drishyam" franchise extends beyond Malayalam cinema, with remakes in other languages, including Hindi, starring Ajay Devgn. The Hindi versions have also been well-received, further solidifying the franchise's popularity across India.

Notably, there has been discussion about whether the Malayalam and Hindi versions of "Drishyam 3" might have a simultaneous release, aiming for a pan-India audience. However, director Jeethu Joseph has clarified that there will be no simultaneous release of Hindi and Malayalam versions.

Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn is also expected to return as Vijay Salgaonkar in "Drishyam 3," with the Hindi version slated for release on October 2, 2026. The Hindi version will be directed by Abhishek Pathak and co-produced by Digital 18 Media.

The release date of October 2 holds significance for fans of the "Drishyam" franchise, as the storyline often includes Gandhi Jayanti as a key plot reference.

As anticipation builds for "Drishyam 3," fans eagerly await further updates on the cast, plot details, and official release dates. With Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph at the helm, the third installment is expected to deliver another thrilling and suspenseful cinematic experience.
