Drishyam 3 Release Confirmed in Malayalam and Hindi as Makers Plan Biggest Outside-Kerala Launch
Drishyam 3 is set to arrive on a scale unlike anything the franchise has attempted before. The makers have officially confirmed that the Mohanlal-starrer will release in two separate versions — one in Malayalam and one in Hindi — marking the film’s most ambitious pan-India push to date.
Trade sources indicate this will be the biggest release for the Drishyam franchise outside Kerala. The dual-version strategy signals a direct theatrical play for Hindi-belt audiences — not a dubbed release, but a version crafted specifically for that market.
Drishyam 3 Cast and Production Details
Mohanlal returns as Georgekutty, the role that turned the original into a cultural phenomenon across India. The film is once again backed by Jeethu Joseph, the director who helmed the first two instalments of the franchise. Production is handled by Aashirvad Cinemas, the banner behind some of Malayalam cinema’s biggest commercial hits.
The previous two films — Drishyam (2013) and Drishyam 2 (2021) — both became massive critical and commercial successes. Drishyam 2 broke records on OTT after its theatrical run and proved the franchise had a loyal following well beyond Kerala.

Drishyam 3 Hindi Version and Release Strategy
The decision to produce a dedicated Hindi version — rather than a straight dub — is a calculated move. It mirrors the approach taken by several South productions that have cracked the Hindi market by tailoring content rather than simply translating it. The makers appear confident the Drishyam 3 release can replicate that success.
The Drishyam franchise already has strong name recognition in the north thanks to the 2015 Bollywood remake starring Ajay Devgn and its 2022 sequel. That built-in awareness gives the original Malayalam version — and its Hindi counterpart — a significant head start with mainstream audiences.

No official release date has been announced by the makers as of now. Further details on the theatrical rollout and OTT plans for Drishyam 3 are expected to follow in the coming weeks as the production moves closer to completion.
