Ajay Devgn officially announced the release date for the popular Hindi thriller Drishyam 3, the third and likely final chapter in the franchise. The film, centring around Devgn reprising his iconic role as Vijay Salgaonkar, is set to hit theatres on October 2, 2026, the same day as Gandhi Jayanti. The announcement was made via a teaser shared on social media with the tagline “Aakhri hissa baaki hai” (“The last part is still left”), building anticipation for the conclusion of the story among fans around social media.
The film’s cast is expected to include Tabu, Shriya Saran, and Rajat Kapoor alongside Ajay Devgn.
Malayalam Version release before Hindi Release
In parallel, the original Drishyam 3 starring Mohanlal is scheduled to release before the Hindi version. Director Jeethu Joseph has indicated that the Malayalam film is in post-production and is planned for release in the first half of 2026, likely three to four months before the Hindi version hits theatres.
This version continues the story of Georgekutty, the character Mohanlal portrays, and has generated excitement among fans for resolving the cliffhanger from Drishyam 2.
