Mohanlal has officially wrapped filming on Drishyam 3, and the moment was as emotional as fans expected. The actor shared a heartfelt video on social media, signalling the completion of one of Malayalam cinema’s most iconic journeys — the final chapter of Georgekutty’s story.
A Heartwarming Final Shot
The clip shows Mohanlal performing one of his last scenes as Georgekutty before strolling towards the monitor to check director Jeethu Joseph’s reaction. When Jeethu gives an approving nod, the actor can’t hold back a relieved, joyful smile — a fitting farewell to a character he has carried since 2013.
The Drishyam franchise began with a film that became a Malayalam industry record-breaker and went on to inspire remakes in multiple languages, including a successful Chinese adaptation. Georgekutty remains one of Mohanlal’s most recognised roles worldwide.
On-Set Celebrations as the Team Wraps Up
As the camera cuts, producer Anthony Perumbavoor rushes in to embrace Mohanlal, marking the end of a decade-long creative partnership on the franchise. Actor Santhi Mayadevi is also spotted in the video, standing inside what appears to be a police headquarters set. Mohanlal then moves through the crew, thanking each department and acknowledging the people who helped bring the trilogy to its conclusion.
A Record-Breaking Deal Even Before Completion
What makes the wrap even more remarkable is the scale of the film’s pre-release business. According to reports coming out of Kerala, Drishyam 3 has closed its distribution and digital rights for an extraordinary ₹350 crore — a figure that already surpasses the ₹300 crore+ box office of Lokah Chapter One: Chandra, the highest-grossing Malayalam film to date.
This makes Drishyam 3 one of the biggest deals in Malayalam industry history, achieved while filming was still underway.
The figure was shared publicly by M. Ranjith of Rejaputhra Visual Arts, who previously backed Mohanlal’s hit film Thudarum. The number has since sparked major buzz across trade circles.
Panorama Studios Reportedly On Board
Alongside the record-breaking deal, reports suggest that Panorama Studios has purchased the worldwide theatrical and digital rights to the film. If confirmed, this will mark the first time that Aashirvad Productions — Mohanlal’s long-time home banner — will not distribute a Drishyam film in Kerala.
Final Words
With an emotional wrap, a record-setting distribution deal, and a global fanbase awaiting answers to Georgekutty’s final chapter, Drishyam 3 stands poised to become one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest moments of the decade. As the film enters post-production, anticipation is only expected to grow.
