Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 Officially Postponed As Makers Announce A New Release Date

Kochi, March 23 – The makers of Drishyam 3 have officially postponed the release of the much-anticipated Malayalam crime thriller starring Mohanlal. The film, which was initially scheduled to hit cinemas in early April 2026, will now arrive on May 21, 2026. The third instalment of the hugely successful franchise was originally planned for an April 2 release. However, the team has now opted for a revised date to ensure a stronger and more stable release window, especially in the overseas markets where the franchise commands a massive following. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The postponement is a strategic move, as the Middle East, a key territory for Malayalam films, is currently facing uncertain conditions due to war, prompting the makers to avoid any potential impact on the film's box office performance. By shifting to May 21, the team is aiming to maximise the film's global reach and revenue potential. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the Drishyam series is widely regarded as one of Indian cinema's finest thriller franchises. The story revolves around Georgekutty, portrayed by Mohanlal, a seemingly ordinary man whose intelligence and presence of mind help him stay one step ahead of the law. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The new release date places Drishyam 3 in a favourable summer window, giving it a better opportunity to dominate both domestic and international markets. With the massive success of its predecessors, expectations are sky-high for what is being billed as the final chapter in Georgekutty’s gripping story. Stay tuned...

Kochi, March 23 - At the time when Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is ruling the nationwide box office, Malayalam cinema has quietly delivered another major success with the fantasy comedy Aadu 3. The film adds to the industry's impressive streak of consistent hits in recent years. Headlined by Jayasurya, the third instalment of the popular franchise benefited from the makers' bold decision to stick to its original release date, despite the ongoing tensions in the Gulf region, traditionally the biggest overseas market for Malayalam films.

Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 Gets Postponed Amid Gulf War

Kochi, March 20 - Superstar Mohanlal's much-awaited third instalment of the Drishyam franchise is set to be postponed as tensions escalate in the Gulf region. The film, directed by Jeethu Joseph, was scheduled to release on April 3rd, but the current geopolitical situation has raised concerns among the makers.

Los Angeles, February 26 - The highly anticipated Malayalam crime suspense thriller Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph, has secured a massive theatrical deal in overseas markets.

Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 Plot Revealed

Kochi, February 20 - The much-awaited Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal, is shaping up to be the most intense chapter in the iconic thriller franchise. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the third instalment reportedly takes the story forward, focusing on the emotional and psychological cost of Georgekutty’s carefully guarded secrets. A leaked plot description from overseas distributor Phars Film has set social media buzzing with excitement around the crime suspense thriller. The plot states, "Georgekutty is not just protecting his family from the world, he is protecting them from the truth, and from the burden of what binds them together. Now, as new forces begin to close in, more organised and determined than ever before, the cracks in his carefully built calm start to widen". (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It continues, "The threat is no longer just external; it presses against his conscience, his relationships, and the fragile normalcy he has tried so hard to create. And as the walls slowly tighten around him and his family, how much more is Georgekutty willing to sacrifice". (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Unlike the earlier films that revolved around clever investigations and external threats, Drishyam 3 looks to dive deeper into Georgekutty's inner world. This time, the biggest danger may not come from the police or the law, but from guilt, fear, and the long-term consequences of the past. The story reportedly explores how living a lie for years begins to erode even the strongest mind. Produced by Antony Perumbavoor under Aashirvad Cinemas, Drishyam 3 stars Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan, and Esther Anil, who all reprise their roles from the earlier films. It is scheduled to release on April 2, 2026, worldwide. Stay tuned...

Drishyam 3 To Have Different Story In Hindi and Malayalam

Mumbai, February 14 - The much-anticipated Drishyam 3 is shaping up to be a unique cinematic experiment, as the makers have reportedly decided to go ahead with different storylines for the Hindi and Malayalam versions. While both films will carry forward the essence of the Drishyam franchise, centred on suspense, family, and moral dilemmas, the narrative paths will reportedly diverge to suit regional sensibilities and character arcs. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In Malayalam, Mohanlal will once again reprise his iconic role of Georgekutty. The Malayalam Drishyam series has always been the original blueprint, and reports suggest that Drishyam 3 will explore deeper psychological consequences and long-term repercussions of the events from the first two films, staying rooted in Kerala's socio-cultural backdrop. On the other hand, the Hindi version led by Ajay Devgn is expected to take a more commercially expansive route. While inspired by the Malayalam narrative, the Hindi Drishyam 3 will reportedly feature fresh twists, altered character motivations, and a different investigative angle, ensuring that audiences who have followed both versions still get a new experience.

Ranveer Singh and Chiyaan Vikram to Lead Shankar’s Velpari:Pen Studios Backs the Epic Project

The Indian film industry is abuzz with reports that maverick director Shankar is finally moving forward with his dream project, Velpari. Based on the acclaimed Tamil novel Veera Yuga Nayagan Velpari by S. Venkatesan, this film is being touted as a cinematic spectacle that could redefine the Magnum Opus genre. The biggest highlight, however, is the rumored casting. Reports suggest that Shankar is planning to cast Ranveer Singh and Chiyaan Vikram in the lead roles, creating a massive Dual Hero dynamic that has the potential to shake the pan-Indian box office. A few years ago, Shankar, Ranveer Singh, and Pen Studios officially announced a Hindi remake of the cult classic Anniyan. However, that project hit a legal roadblock and failed to materialize due to copyright disputes with the original producer. Instead of letting the collaboration go to waste, trade circles suggest that Shankar is now looking to fit the powerhouse combo of Ranveer and Vikram into the world of Velpari. Vikram, who delivered an iconic performance in the original Anniyan, joining forces with the high-energy Ranveer Singh is being seen as a masterstroke by the director. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The film is an adaptation of the legendary story of Velpari, one of the seven great patrons (Kadai Ezhu Vallalgal) of ancient Tamil Nadu. The plot revolves around the tribal king Pari, known for his extraordinary generosity and bravery, and his struggle against the combined forces of the three great Tamil dynasties—the Cheras, Cholas, and Pandyas. It is a tale of nature, survival, and ancient warfare, requiring a scale comparable to Baahubali or Ponniyin Selvan. Shankar is known for his larger-than-life storytelling, and with the backing of Pen Studios, Velpari is expected to be his most ambitious project to date. If the combo of Vikram and Ranveer Singh is locked, it will be the first time a major Bollywood superstar and a Kollywood legend share the screen in a direct Shankar film.
