The film's massive market value has also caught Bollywood's attention. Big studios are now partnering with Aashirvad Cinemas for the Malayalam original. Panorama Studios, who are producing the Hindi version of Drishyam 3, have reportedly bought the global theatrical and digital rights for the Malayalam film. On top of that, another big Bollywood name, Pen Studios, is investing a whopping 100 crores in Aashirvad Cinemas through Panorama.

However, director Jeethu Joseph has a special request for the audience: please come to the theatres without any huge expectations. “Come with zero expectations. Drishyam 3 is not like the first or second part. The story follows Georgekutty's emotional journey. It's that kind of a movie. So, if you come expecting some huge, explosive film, you'll be disappointed,” he said. “But I am confident that it is a good film. The problem I face is that people will compare it to the first two parts. People even compare my other films like 'Valathuvashathe Kallan' to 'Memories' and 'Drishyam'. Just come and watch the film without any bias,” Jeethu added.
