The suspense-thriller landscape of Indian cinema is set to be electrified once again as Drishyam 3 is officially in the works. Ajay Devgn will reprise his iconic role as the enigmatic Vijay Salgaonkar, continuing a saga that has kept audiences guessing since 2015.

The Drishyam series—originally adapted from Jeethu Joseph’s Malayalam film—has grown into one of India’s most compelling thriller franchises. With its unique mix of psychological tension, moral ambiguity, and family drama, each installment has deepened the mystery and tightened the emotional grip on viewers.

What to Expect from Drishyam 3

While details about the plot are being kept tightly under wraps, producers have confirmed that Drishyam 3 will bring a fitting conclusion to Vijay Salgaonkar’s journey. The story is expected to explore the lingering consequences of the past crimes and how Vijay continues to outmaneuver the legal system—while protecting his family from both old and new threats.

There are also whispers that the film will sync its timeline with the upcoming Malayalam Drishyam 3, with director Jeethu Joseph possibly involved in both projects for continuity.
