Director Jeethu Joseph confirms Drishyam 3 to release in 3 languages

The long-awaited 'Drishyam 3', starring Mohanlal, is officially set to go on floors this October. The announcement was made by director Jeethu Joseph and the production team with a video. The film will be shot simultaneously in three languages, Malayalam, Hindi, and Telugu.

The video opens with a close-up of George Kutty’s eye. Fans of the Malayalam thriller franchise were thrilled by the news, but it also sparked speculation about the Hindi remake and whether it would follow the same storyline. Putting all doubts to rest, Joseph, who has written and directed the entire trilogy, confirmed that the Hindi version will follow the same story.

In an interview with ETimes, the director said,



"The script of the third film is nearing completion. There have been reports that the Hindi version will have a different story, but that's not true. The Hindi film will also be based on my story. Once I complete my script, it will be shared with the Hindi team, who will then adapt it to suit their setting and make suitable cultural changes."

There’s also growing interest in whether the Malayalam, Hindi, and Telugu versions will be filmed simultaneously. While the director said that it's too early to confirm parallel shoots due to actors' availability, with Mohanlal, Ajay Devgn, and Venkatesh leading the Malayalam, Hindi, and Telugu versions, respectively. The team is seriously considering a simultaneous release.
