The film won appreciation across the country and over the years became one of the most iconic franchises of Indian Cinema.
Years later, Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph came up with Drishyam 2, which saw a direct to digital premiere, which was replicated by Venkatesh and team for Telugu too.
However, Ajay Devgn and his producer partners, Kumar Mangat and Abhishek Pathak decided to take a brave call and got the Drishyam sequel in cinema halls.
Superstar Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph came up with the idea of their epic crime thriller Drishyam in 2013. The movie was eventually remade by Ajay Devgn in Hindi, Kamal Haasan in Tamil and Venkatesh in Telugu.
And if the latest report is to be believed, the makers of Drishyam have cracked a deal with its Hindi creators for the third installment.
According to a news portal, Drishyam 2 has gotten into the development stage between the creators in Hindi and Malayalam.
Director Abhishek Pathak and his team of writers have reportedly cracked the basic core plot for Drishyam 3.
Jeethu Joseph and his team have loved it and now they are working towards developing it into a screenplay.
The Hindi and Malayalam team of Drishyam are working together with a long-term vision of shooting both the films together and release them on the same date all across India. While Mohanlal will reprise his role of Goerge Kutty in Malayalam, Ajay will take the journey of Vijay Salgaonkar in Hindi.
It is being said that once the screenplay is locked, the Telugu Drishyam producers will also join the Hindi and Malayalam team to release the film on the same date.
Everyone associated with the film are trying to provide the best experience of their element of suspense without spoiling its twists and turns.
Drishyam 3 is said to be the final installment in the franchise. The movie is expected to go on floors in 2024.
Drishyam 3 Plot
The film proved to be one of the biggest money spinners of 2022 and emerged a blockbuster for Ajay Devgn.
It also holds the record of being the highest grossing thriller in Hindi.
And now, Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that Drishyam 3 has gotten into the development stage and it is proving to be a collaboration between the creators in Hindi and Malayalam.
“Abhishek Pathak and his team of writers have cracked a basic core plot for Drishyam 3, which Jeethu Joseph and his team loved.

The team of Drishyam (Hindi and Malayalam) are working in tandem with the long-term vision of shooting for both the films together.
“The idea is to have Drishyam 3 shot together and release them on the same date all across India. While Kerala will see the release in Malayalam with Mohanlal as Goerge Kutty, the rest of India will get to see the journey of Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar. Once the screenplay is locked, the Telugu Drishyam producers also might join the plan of simultaneous release all across on the same date,” the source added.
Best experience of Drishyam 3 for Hindi and Malayalam audience
The thought behind this is to ensure a spoiler free experience for the viewers. “The power of Drishyam rests in the suspense and as it has happened in the past, there is a section that has already seen the version that arrives first.
Everyone working on Drishyam want to provide the best experience to it’s audience, and not spoil the twists and turns. Drishyam 3 will be the final film of the franchise and what better than having an experience of chills and thrills without having an idea of what next,” the source concluded.

Ajay Devgn is meanwhile gearing up for his next with Vikas Bahl in London and will follow that up with Singham Again.

DRISHYAM 3 TO RETAIN THE SUSPENSE
One of the issues with the Drishyam films is that a large number of people watch the movie in Malayalam when it comes out there. Then, the comparisons begin and people give out spoilers too.
This is going to be the final movie of the Drishyam franchise. The makers want to give a truly unforgettable experience to all the film-goers.
The source added, “What better than having an experience of chills and thrills without having an idea of what next.” The shoot of the film will begin after the final screenplay is locked. A kickass screenplay is a must for suspense stories.
Now, Drishyam is going to be adapted in Korean. The script has been picked up by Anthology Studios.
Koreans are very fond of thrillers and Drishyam has the right amount of suspense and thrills. Jay Choi, Song Kang Ho of Parasite and Kim Jee Woon are behind the project.
