Drishyam 3, which was earlier scheduled to hit theatres on April 2, has been postponed by more than a month. The film is now set for a worldwide release on May 21, which coincides with Mohanlal’s birthday. The actor himself announced the new release date on social media while sharing a fresh poster of the film.
Drishyam 3 Gets A New Release Date
“The past never stays silent… it only waits. Georgekutty arrives, May 21st 2026. Drishyam 3 | Worldwide Release,” he wrote. The delay reportedly stems from the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, as the Gulf region remains one of the most crucial overseas markets for Malayalam cinema.

Drishyam 3 is written and directed by Jeethu Joseph and backed by producer Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas. The film marks the third and concluding part of the Drishyam series, taking the story of Georgekutty forward. Several actors from the previous instalments return for the final chapter. These include Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Asha Sharath, Murali Gopy and Siddique.
The shoot for the final chapter of Drishyam wrapped up on December 2 last year, and the production moved through various scenic and urban backdrops across Kerala, spanning Thodupuzha, Vagamon, and Thiruvalla.
Ahead of the release, director Jeethu Joseph tempered expectations regarding the film’s scale. He advised fans to set aside their assumptions, noting that this third instalment prioritises Georgekutty’s internal emotional arc over high-octane spectacle.
“Come without any expectations. Drishyam 3 is not like the first or second part. It is a journey through Georgekutty’s emotions. If you come expecting a big spectacle, you will be disappointed. But I am confident that it is a good film,” he had said.
