The Drishyam franchise has connected with audiences across North and South India. You already know both versions ran parallel, with Mohanlal leading the Malayalam films and Ajay Devgn fronting the Hindi versions.
The storylines stayed identical up to Drishyam 2. With Drishyam 3, disputes between the two camps have come into focus. You do not have official clarity yet, but media chatter and online discussions are growing louder.
The buzz suggests the Malayalam makers, led by Mohanlal, want the third part to release on a pan-India scale. That move directly clashes with the Hindi version headlined by Ajay Devgn, creating friction between the two teams.
Because of this, ties between the versions are said to be cut. The Malayalam Drishyam 3 has already completed shooting and is now being readied for release. In contrast, the Hindi team has only just announced the start of filming.
The dispute also affects branding. As per the Malayalam makers, Ajay Devgn’s version should not use the Drishyam name if the partnership no longer exists. This has raised serious questions around identity and rights.
You are now left wondering what comes next. Will Ajay Devgn appear with a new story and title, or will the film still be called Drishyam and follow Vijay Salgaonkar’s familiar journey? For now, the answer remains unclear.
