If this date holds, the film would also mark Mohanlal’s first release of 2026.
Interestingly, the announcement comes shortly after Ajay Devgn’s Hindi remake of Drishyam 3 revealed its own release date. However, director Jeethu Joseph, who has helmed all three original Drishyam films, confirmed that the Malayalam version will release first.
In fact, Jeethu had earlier made it clear that the Malayalam team would take legal action if the Hindi remake tried to release before the original. This assurance has come as a big relief to Malayalam cinema lovers.
Although the makers have not officially confirmed the date, the April 9 timeline has created a wave of anticipation.
Star-studded cast returns to ‘Drishyam 3’
Mohanlal reprises his iconic role as George Kutty. He is an everyday man who keeps finding himself in extraordinary situations. Joining him are familiar faces from the first two ‘Drishyam’ films (Drishyam 1 and Drishyam 2). Meena plays his wife Rani. Ansiba Hassan and Esther Anil are their daughters.
The ensemble cast also includes Siddique, Asha Sharath, Murali Gopy, KB Ganesh Kumar, and Santhi Mayadevi.
