Drishyam 3 Is Happening: Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal Confirms

Malayalam cinema icon Mohanlal has confirmed that Drishyam 3 is underway. During an interview with Galatta, he shared, "We are currently working on bringing Drishyam 3 to life." This announcement follows director Jeethu Joseph's earlier comments about contemplating a third part, though he was uncertain about its timing.

The Drishyam series began in 2013 with Mohanlal portraying George Kutty. It has significantly impacted Indian cinema. The sequel, Drishyam 2, released in 2021 on OTT platforms, was adapted into several languages and reached audiences worldwide. Mohanlal's portrayal of George Kutty remains iconic in modern cinema.

The Hindi adaptations of the Drishyam films, featuring Ajay Devgn, have achieved impressive box office success. The first remake reportedly earned over ₹111 crore globally. Its sequel in 2022 grossed ₹345 crore worldwide, showcasing the franchise's widespread appeal and financial success.

Mohanlal reflected on the series' journey during his interview. He revealed that the script for the original film was penned five years before production began. He attributed its success to its relatable narrative, stating, "What made people connect with the film was the character of an ordinary man standing up for his family."

Impact of 'Drishyam 2' on Malayalam Cinema

Mohanlal also discussed how Drishyam 2 influenced Malayalam cinema during the COVID-19 pandemic. The film attracted global viewers who recognised him from his role. "After Drishyam 2, audiences began watching more Malayalam films. It's a movie that gave Malayalam cinema a pan-Indian reach," he remarked.

The anticipation for Drishyam 3 is high among fans and critics alike. With its previous successes and Mohanlal's continued involvement, expectations are set for another compelling chapter in this celebrated franchise.
