Drishyam 3 the Hindi film starring Ajay devgan is coming out as scheduled on October 2 2026. There was reports that Paresh Rawal close friend of Director Priyadarshan has signed thhe third sequel. Th Malayalamfilm third part makers have got issues with the Hindi version. Paresh Rawal said that he read the script and it was excellent but somehow it did not excite him as far his role was concerned. Meanwhile, on the Malayalam side, Drishyam 3 is already in motion. Mohanlal began shooting for the crime drama on September 22, with the official announcement following shortly after. In contrast, Ajay Devgn’s Hindi adaptation—helmed by Abhishek Pathak—is expected to go on floors only in December. After Mohanlal’s update, the Hindi team quickly announced an October 2, 2026 release date for their version. According to insiders, this sudden date reveal did not sit well with the Malayalam producers, prompting them to enforce the adaptation clause. Adding another layer to the friction is the directorial choice. Originally, the vision was to have all three versions—Malayalam, Hindi, and Telugu (with Venkatesh)—directed by Jeethu Joseph, with a simultaneous global release planned for October 2, 2026. But with the blockbuster success of Abhishek Pathak’s Drishyam 2 (2022), producer Kumar Mangat reportedly pushed for his son to direct the Hindi threequel, breaking away from the earlier plan. This decision is believed to have created creative differences, leading Antony and Jeethu to focus on ensuring the Malayalam film hits the screens before its Hindi counterpart.

In case of Manichithrathazhu ( Chandramukhi in Tamil)the Fazil film starring Lal and Shobana, the Tamil dialogues said was credited to Bhagyalakshmi.
