Director Jeethu Joseph has revealed that he has completed writing the first draft of Drishyam 3, marking a significant milestone in the highly anticipated sequel. He shared the news while speaking at the inauguration of the Film and Drama Club at Nirmala College, Muvattupuzha, on 17th July.
“I finished writing the climax of Drishyam 3 last night. I’ve been under immense pressure for a long time. Between the shoots of Mirage and Valathu Vashathe Kallan (The Thief on the Right), I would wake up every day at 3:30 a.m. to write. It was a real struggle, physically and mentally exhausting. But yesterday, I finally felt a sense of relief,” Jeethu said.
He described the moment as emotional and overwhelming, especially when music played at the event, bringing back memories from Drishyam and Drishyam 2. “The entire journey of the franchise flashed through my mind,” he added.
The director confirmed that the shoot for Drishyam 3 will begin in October. The film is being produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas. Reports also suggest that the Hindi version, starring Ajay Devgn, is expected to go on floors around the same time.
The Drishyam series began in 2013 and has since gained widespread acclaim across languages, with both Malayalam and Hindi versions enjoying massive commercial success. The third instalment is now one of the most awaited films in Indian cinema.
