For years, the biggest threat to the Hindi Drishyam films was remake fatigue. With Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 releasing in theaters today, everyone expected the Hindi version to be a exact copy. However, director Abhishek Pathak has confirmed that the Hindi script will take its own separate path. This is the best news possible for Ajay Devgn.
The change makes perfect tactical sense. While both versions start from the same core idea, the Malayalam original focuses heavily on emotional family drama. On the other hand, the Hindi version is being built from scratch as a fast-paced, high-stakes crime thriller. This ensures the movie stays tailored to what Bollywood audiences love most about Vijay Salgaonkar.
This decision also completely protects the film from internet spoilers. Since the Malayalam film is out now and the Hindi version releases later in October, a direct remake would have leaked the ending months in advance. Instead, by introducing new characters and a separate plot line, the film keeps its greatest weapon: total shock value.
