Drishyam 3 is finally happening, and fans have a solid reason to celebrate. The third and final film in the blockbuster thriller series starring Ajay Devgn will go on floors on October 2, 2025, with a planned release on Gandhi Jayanti 2026.
The buzz is real, and this time, it’s more than just a date. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam 3 will bring back the entire cast that made the franchise a massive hit across India. Yes, that includes Devgn as the calm but sharp Vijay Salgaonkar, whose past is finally catching up.

Why October 2 Matters
According to a source quoted in Pinkvilla, the choice of Gandhi Jayanti isn’t just about scheduling. It’s symbolic. The Drishyam franchise has always used October 2 as a plot marker, and now it’ll mark both the beginning of production and the film’s theatrical debut.
“The Gandhi Jayanti date holds a lot of significance for the Drishyam franchise,” said the source. “That’s why the makers have locked October 2, 2025, for the shoot and October 2, 2026, for the release.”
Where It’s Being Shot
The movie will have a tight 3-month schedule starting in October, using real locations in Maharashtra along with studio setups. Ajay Devgn has already locked in his dates for this one, showing just how seriously the team is treating this final installment.
What We Know So Far
The script is locked, and the team is currently polishing the dialogues. While there’s no official word on whether Drishyam 3 is a remake of the Malayalam version, insiders suggest the makers are also exploring an original script.
The plot details are still under wraps but expected to be revealed by July 2025. What’s confirmed is that the film will bring closure to Vijay Salgaonkar’s journey, tying up loose ends and secrets that have kept audiences on edge for years.
A Quick Recap
Drishyam 2, released in 2022, took place seven years after the traumatic events of the first film. It showed the Salgaonkar family moving on—but not really. Shadows from the past returned, threatening to expose what was buried. With Drishyam 3, expect that final layer of suspense to be peeled off.
