Drishyam fans are in for a treat!
Mohanlal has announced 'Drishyam 3,' the much-awaited sequel to the popular Malayalam crime thriller and also said that the film is set to hit theatres in October later this year.
The actor shared the exciting news on Saturday through a video posted on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). In the video, Mohanlal appears as George Kutty, the role that made the Drishyam franchise a major hit. He is seen greeting the team, while text on the screen reads: "Coming soon. Lights. Camera.

Along with the video, Mohalal wrote a caption that read, "October 2025 - the camera turns back to Georgekutty. The past never stays silent."
In no time, fans chimed in on the comment section. One user wrote, "He will go to any extent to protect his family. Yess! The Classic Criminal is back!" Another commented, "Next industry hit loading."
'Drishyam' chronicles the struggle of Georgekutty, played by Mohanlal, and his family, who come under suspicion when the son of the Inspector General of Police is killed. The first part was released in 2013, while the second part came out in 2021. The success of Drishyam led to its remake in several languages, including Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. In Hindi, Ajay Devgn headlined the franchise.
Meanwhile, Mohanlal was last seen in L2: Empuraan, which hit theatres on March 27. He acted alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran, who also directed the film.

Finally! The wait is almost over. Drishyam 2's climax left us all wanting more. Mohanlal sir is a legend - no one could have played Georgekutty better. Hope they maintain the same suspense and clever writing this time too! 🤩
As much as I love Drishyam, I hope part 3 doesn't feel forced. The second part was brilliant but continuing the story further might be tricky. Fingers crossed the writers have something equally brilliant up their sleeves!
Mohanlal's acting in Drishyam is pure gold! The way he portrays Georgekutty's intelligence and calm under pressure is masterclass. This announcement made my weekend! October can't come soon enough.
I watched all versions - Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil - but nothing beats the original. Mohanlal's subtle expressions make all the difference. Hope they don't rush the production just because of fan demand.
The caption "The past never stays silent" gives me chills! What new twist are they planning this time? Georgekutty vs IG Meera round 3? Or something completely unexpected? The suspense is killing me already!
After watching L2: Empuraan, I was worried Mohanlal might focus only on mass roles. So glad he's returning to this brilliant character. Drishyam proves that content is king in Indian cinema! 👑
