New Delhi, Jan 15 (UNI) Malayalam superstar Mohanlal has confirmed the release date of his much-anticipated film Drishyam 3, announcing that the crime thriller will hit theatres worldwide on April 2, 2026.
Mohanlal took to X to share the news along with a short teaser, writing, “Years passed. The past didn’t. Drishyam3 Worldwide Release April 2, 2026.”
The film’s shooting began in September 2025 with a traditional puja ceremony. The inaugural event featured lamp-lighting rituals, with director Jeethu Joseph and producer Antony Perumbavoor joining Mohanlal.
In photos shared from the event, Mohanlal was seen holding the film’s clapperboard before participating in the ceremonial rituals with the cast and crew.
The actor wrote alongside the photos, “Bringing Georgekutty’s world alive once again. Today marks the beginning of Drishyam 3 with the Pooja.”
Helmed by Jeethu Joseph, the film sees Mohanlal reprising his role as Georgekutty, a character he first played in the 2013 original Drishyam. The franchise follows Georgekutty and his family as they navigate the fallout when the son of a high-ranking police officer goes missing.
‘Drishyam 3’ continues the story that has already become a massive success, inspiring several remakes across Bollywood and the South Indian film industries.
With the release date now confirmed, Mohanlal’s version will hit theatres before Ajay Devgn’s Hindi adaptation, which is scheduled for October 2, 2026.
Shooting for the third instalment is currently in full swing, generating excitement among fans eager to see Georgekutty’s story unfold once again.
