The much-loved movie series Drishyam is coming back with its third part, Drishyam 3. According to recent reports, Superstar Mohanlal, who plays the clever Georgekutty in the Malayalam version and acclaimed director Jeethu Joseph are planning to make Drishyam 3 a bilingual offering, releasing simultaneously in Malayalam and Hindi aiming to reach audiences all over India.
No Remakes, No Ajay Devgn: A Game-Changing Decision
The decision to forgo remakes, particularly in Hindi, has sparked intense discussion among fans and industry insiders. Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam films, directed by Nishikant Kamat (first part) and Abhishek Pathak (second part), were massive box-office successes, with Drishyam 2 grossing nearly ₹350 crore worldwide. Devgn’s portrayal of Vijay Salgaonkar, the Hindi counterpart to Georgekutty, earned widespread acclaim and established the franchise as a brand in Bollywood. However, the Drishyam 3 team’s choice to prioritize Mohanlal with no plans for remakes signals confidence in the original star’s pan-India appeal. By focusing on Mohanlal and forgoing remakes, the Drishyam 3 team is breaking new ground, ensuring the thriller’s suspense reaches audiences across India in one seamless narrative.
Some fans of the Hindi version expressed disappointment, noting that Devgn had built a strong brand in the north. Others, however, celebrated the move, emphasizing Mohanlal’s unmatched performance in the original films.
A New Chapter for Indian Cinema
As anticipation builds, Drishyam 3 promises to be a cinematic event that unites audiences from Kerala to Kashmir. With Mohanlal’s commanding presence, Jeethu Joseph’s masterful direction, and a story that has already captivated millions, Drishyam 3 is poised to redefine what a pan-India film can achieve.
