The Drishyam universe is officially shifting gears. After wrapping up an initial Mumbai shoot, the makers of Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 are gearing up for a pivotal filming schedule in Goa — a phase that’s expected to shape the core mystery of the much-awaited family thriller.
The Goa leg begins January 8 and will run for nearly two months, making it one of the film’s most important schedules so far.
Why the Goa Schedule Matters
According to sources close to the production, Goa isn’t just a backdrop this time — it plays a key role in the film’s narrative progression. Much like previous installments that carefully used locations to heighten tension, Drishyam 3 is expected to lean heavily on atmosphere and geography to push the story forward.
The entire principal cast will be present for the shoot, including Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, and Rajat Kapoor, all reprising their iconic roles in the franchise.
Jaideep Ahlawat’s Entry Adds a New Edge
One of the biggest talking points surrounding Drishyam 3 is the addition of Jaideep Ahlawat. Known for his commanding performances and layered screen presence, his entry is being seen as a game-changer for the franchise.
While details about his character are tightly under wraps, industry insiders suggest that Ahlawat’s role introduces a fresh conflict — one that could seriously test the Salgaonkar family’s carefully constructed world.
What to Expect From Drishyam 3
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the third installment promises to stay true to the franchise’s DNA while pushing the story into darker, more complex territory. The film continues along the established Drishyam timeline, focusing on how time, guilt, and consequences have reshaped the lives of its characters.
At the heart of the story remains the central question:
Can the Salgaonkars outsmart the system once again — or has time finally caught up with them?
Strong Creative Team Behind the Camera
Drishyam 3 is presented by Star Studios and produced by Panorama Studios. The film is written by Abhishek Pathak, Aamil Keeyan Khan, and Parveez Shaikh, with producers Alok Jain, Ajit Andhare, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Abhishek Pathak backing the project.
The makers have repeatedly hinted that this installment aims to elevate the family thriller genre even further, focusing on emotional stakes rather than just shocking twists.
Meanwhile, the Malayalam Drishyam 3 Is Already Wrapped
Interestingly, the Malayalam version of Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph, has already completed production. Speaking about the film, Jeethu emphasized that the franchise has never been about twists alone.
“The story has to grow organically,” he said, adding that the third film explores how age, time, and changing circumstances affect Georgekutty and everyone around him.
Final Words
With a crucial Goa schedule lined up, a powerful new cast addition, and expectations at an all-time high, Drishyam 3 is shaping up to be more than just a sequel. If the franchise’s track record is anything to go by, audiences can expect a slow-burn thriller that relies on tension, character evolution, and moral ambiguity — not just shock value.
The countdown to Drishyam Day has officially begun.
