About 'Drishyam 3' Shoot
Mohanlal completed shooting his portions in December last year, with a video of him cutting a cake with the team going viral. He began work on the film just before receiving the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. The film was also launched with a puja near Kochi last year. Director Jeethu Joseph shared a small hint about the story: 'The film focuses on what happens in Georgekutty's life after four-and-a-half years. That is the crux of the story.' Producer Antony Perumbavoor added, 'The phenomenal response to the first two parts convinced us that Georgekutty's journey had more to tell.' The film was shot in locations including Thodupuzha, Vagamon, and Ernakulam.
Plot of 'Drishyam' Franchise
'Drishyam' is one of the most iconic crime thrillers, known for its gripping structure and suspenseful storytelling. The first part was released in 2013 and the sequel in 2021. It tells the story of Georgekutty, a cable TV operator who lives a simple life with his wife and two daughters. The film was initially planned for release on April 2 but was delayed due to the tense situation in the Gulf. It is now set to hit the big screens on May 21, 2026.
