Overview
- Director Abhishek Pathak confirmed late Tuesday that principal photography for the Hindi Drishyam 3 has finished and the film has entered post‑production with only patchwork and editing left to do.
- Producers have set an October 2, 2026 theatrical release date, a slot the franchise has used before and that trade coverage links to the film’s marketing calendar.
- Pathak and producers say the Hindi film will not be a shot‑for‑shot copy of the recently released Malayalam Drishyam 3 and that the adaptation leans more toward a family thriller than the Malayalam version’s family drama.
- The core cast returns with Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar alongside Tabu and Shriya Saran, while Akshaye Khanna will not return and Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj have been added in newly written roles.
- Filmmakers kept shooting tightly controlled at secure locations and trade sources say formal promotion could begin with a teaser in late summer, a move that would set the stage for final edits and publicity ahead of the October release.
