Why was 'Drishyam 3' postponed?

People are guessing that the makers decided to push 'Drishyam 3' because of the box office tsunami created by Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar 2'. This is because Pawan Kalyan's 'Ustaad Gabbar Singh', which released alongside 'Dhurandhar 2', suffered due to the clash. However, some reports also suggest that the ongoing tension in the Gulf region is the reason for the delay.

The Star Cast of 'Drishyam 3'

Jeethu Joseph is directing this film. The cast includes Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Asha Sharath, Siddique, Murali Gopy, and K. B. Ganesh Kumar. The Drishyam franchise started in 2013 and set a new benchmark in storytelling. Its sequel, Drishyam 2 (2021), was also a massive hit, and now the third part promises to bring back the same suspense.
