Will Ajay Devgn Face Trouble Making Drishyam 3? Mohanlal’s Pan-India Plans May Create Challenges

Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 May Face Hurdles Due to Mohanlal’s Pan-India Release Plans

Ajay Devgn is planning to bring back his popular thriller Drishyam for a third part. Fans have been eagerly waiting for Drishyam 3, especially after the huge success of the previous two parts. However, a recent update has left many fans worried.

Reports suggest that Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3, the original Malayalam version, might be released across India in multiple languages, including Hindi. This new move could create problems for Ajay Devgn’s Hindi remake.

Why the Hindi Remake Worked Earlier

Ajay Devgn’s first Drishyam released on 31 July 2015, and it was a remake of the Malayalam original starring Mohanlal. The sequel, Drishyam 2, came out on 18 November 2022.

Both films were loved by the audience, even though they were remakes. One major reason was that the original Malayalam versions were not released in Hindi, so the story felt fresh to Hindi viewers.

This helped the franchise become a hit in North India, making Drishyam one of Ajay Devgn’s most loved thriller series.

Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 May Release in Hindi Too

Now, according to reports from leading entertainment portals, Mohanlal and director Jeethu Joseph are planning to release Drishyam 3 in Hindi as well. If this happens, then it might be difficult for Ajay Devgn to remake the same film again for a Hindi audience.

If Hindi-speaking fans already watch Mohanlal’s version, they might not be interested in another version with the same storyline.

OTT Platforms Are Changing the Game

Earlier, regional films didn’t reach a wider audience due to limited releases. But now, with OTT platforms, almost every film gets dubbed and released in multiple languages, especially Hindi.

If Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 drops on OTT in Hindi, many people would already know the full story. This could reduce excitement for Ajay Devgn’s remake, making it harder to attract viewers to theatres.

Ajay Devgn’s Script May Get Delayed

While Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 script is reportedly ready, and shooting is expected to start in May 2025, Ajay Devgn’s version is still in the scripting stage.

There could be delays in starting the shoot because Ajay is also busy with multiple other projects like De De Pyaar De 2, Raid 2, Dhamaal 4, and Son of Sardaar 2.

If Mohanlal’s film releases first, it might spoil the story for the Hindi audience, and this could lead to losses for the remake.

Conclusion

While Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph are thinking of a pan-India release for Drishyam 3, there is no official confirmation yet.

On the other hand, it’s also not true that Ajay Devgn has dropped the idea of Drishyam 3. His team is still working on the script and planning the project.

To keep the Hindi audience interested, Ajay Devgn may need to bring creative changes or offer a unique angle in his version. This way, even if the original gets released in Hindi, the remake can still have its own identity and success.
