The much-anticipated Tamil horror film, 'Demonte Colony 3', is inching closer to completion. Directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu, the project has reportedly crossed a major milestone, with the filming process nearly finished.
Shooting Nears Final Stage, Release Window Revealed
According to reports, the shooting for this chilling sequel is now approximately 95 percent complete. Only a handful of 'patchwork' scenes remain to be filmed. The production kicked off in July of this year and has progressed smoothly. If the current pace continues, fans can expect the film to hit the big screens around April 2026. However, the production team has not made an official announcement confirming this date yet.
The film continues the story with its core cast. Arulnithi and Priya Bhavani Shankar, who led the first two installments, reprise their roles in this third chapter. They are joined by returning actors like Muthukumar and Meenakshi Govindarajan, ensuring continuity for the franchise's followers.
Returning Talent Fuels Fan Excitement
One of the most exciting confirmations for part three is the return of composer Sam CS as the music director. His haunting scores for the previous films were highly praised, and his involvement has significantly raised expectations. The film's tagline, 'The End is Too Far', has also been unveiled, promising a mysterious and frightening narrative. This follows the second part's tagline, 'Vengeance of the Unholy'.
Reflecting on the franchise's journey, director Ajay Gnanamuthu recently marked the tenth anniversary of the original 2015 film. He described the first 'Demonte Colony' as "very chilling" and emphasized the team's hard work to "create a cinematic and unforgettable theater experience" for the upcoming sequel.
A Growing Horror Universe
The 'Demonte Colony' series has established itself as a significant horror franchise in Tamil cinema. The first film was both a critical and commercial success, setting a new benchmark. The 2024 sequel, 'Demonte Colony 2', expanded the lore, with Arulnithi's dual role becoming a major talking point.
Looking ahead, the universe might expand even further. Lead actor Arulnithi has previously hinted that there are plans to extend the story up to 'Demonte Colony 4', contingent on the success of the upcoming third part. This potential for a larger narrative arc has fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter, with excitement building daily for 'Demonte Colony 3'.
