The excitement for the third chapter of the iconic Drishyam series has reached a fever pitch. Superstar Mohanlal has officially completed filming his portions for Drishyam 3, reigniting immense anticipation among fans to see his enigmatic character, Georgekutty, back on screen.
Historic Pre-Business and Fan Expectations
In a revelation that has stunned the industry, producer M. Ranjith announced that Drishyam 3 has already secured a monumental ₹350 crore in pre-business. This staggering figure, shared at a Manorama event, marks an unprecedented milestone for Malayalam cinema, as no film has ever achieved such financial commitment before even finishing production. The amount surpasses the total lifetime collections of many prior blockbusters.
While audiences are eager to witness the new twist that master storyteller director Jeethu Joseph has crafted and how Georgekutty will outsmart the system this time, there is a tinge of concern. This stems from the director's recent film, 'Mirage', starring Asif Ali and Aparna Balamurali, which faced criticism for its convoluted plot and failed to connect with viewers.
What's Next for Mohanlal After Drishyam 3?
Even as the dust settles on the Drishyam 3 shoot, Mohanlal has given his fans another major announcement. The legendary actor is reuniting with director Tharun Moorthy for a brand-new project. The duo previously collaborated on the critically acclaimed film 'Thudarum'.
The production house, Ashiq Usman Productions, made the official announcement with a poetic note: "When a storyteller and a legend meet again, a universe stirs. After Thudarum, @tharun_moorthy and @mohanlal embark on another voyage... we begin weaving another tale of hearts and horizons." This collaboration has immediately raised expectations for another compelling cinematic experience.
A Franchise Awaits Its Biggest Test
The Drishyam franchise, celebrated for its brilliant narrative and Mohanlal's captivating performance, now faces its most significant challenge. With a record-shattering pre-business, the pressure is on for Jeethu Joseph to deliver a sequel that lives up to the colossal hype and justifies the historic financial vote of confidence from the market. All eyes are now on the post-production and the eventual release date of what promises to be one of the biggest cinematic events in Malayalam film history.
