Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal in the lead role, is scheduled to release in theaters on April 2, 2026. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the much-awaited sequel is now rumored to have skipped its scheduled release date.
Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 not to release on April 2, 2026?
According to ongoing online reports Mohanlal-starrer Drishyam 3 was initially planned for a theatrical release on April 2, 2026. However, it now appears that the makers may skip this date and are instead aiming for a May or June 2026 release.
The possible delay is reportedly due to the unavailability of the film’s release in GCC countries under the current social climate. Although it is unconfirmed, an official update from the manufacturers is expected soon.
Since the postponement of Drishyam 3 has not been confirmed yet, the delay could benefit the box office performance of films like Aadu 3 as well as upcoming releases like Nivin Pauly’s Pratichaya and Vaazha 2.
