Mohanlal announced the release date of his next film, Drishyam 3, on Wednesday. The film will hit screens ahead of Ajay Devgn's Hindi version.

The release date for Jeethu Joseph’s Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal, was officially announced on Wednesday. Mohanlal posted a video teasing the third film in the hit franchise, in which he plays a TV cable operator named Georgekutty. The Malayalam version will be released in theatres months ahead of the Hindi version.

Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 release date

Announcing Drishyam 3’s release date, Mohanlal wrote, “Years passed. The past didn’t. #Drishyam3 | Worldwide Release | April 2, 2026.” The video he posted features an old-school television set, a shovel, a submerged car, a cell phone, a yellow bag, a CCTV camera, and a script – all key elements from the first two films. The video ends with the poster of the next film in the instalment.

The poster features Mohanlal staring directly at the camera, with his wife, Rani George, played by Meena, and daughters, Anju and Anu, played by Ansiba Hassan and Esther Anil, standing behind him. “The past never stays silent,” is the film’s tagline. “Every secret has a return date. April 2, 2026 - the truth unfolds,” wrote the official social media page of the film while releasing the poster.
