'Drishyam 3' trailer launch reveals new mystery
The much-awaited trailer was launched in Kochi on Saturday. During the event, Jeethu Joseph revealed that Georgekutty faces a very different kind of threat this time.
He said, “The difference between the first and second parts and the third one is that Georgekutty doesn’t know whether someone is behind him, and if so, who it is.”
The director added, “In the first two parts, he knew that the police and the dead boy’s family were after him. But in this one, he doesn’t know who it is. I’m not saying there won’t be any elements that will surprise you.”
Mohanlal hints at more 'Drishyam' films
During the trailer launch, Mohanlal suggested that Georgekutty’s story may continue beyond this installment. In a light-hearted but meaningful comment, he hinted that more sequels could be possible. Mohanlal said, "This is not a joke. Let people watch the film and let them decide whether we should do a sequel, like four or five."
The film is set to hit theatres worldwide on May 21, 2026.
