Malayalam cinema’s biggest thriller series is making a comeback! Mohanlal has officially announced that Drishyam 3 is in the works, once again teaming up with director Jeethu Joseph and producer Antony Perumbavoor. The news has sparked excitement among fans, as the Drishyam franchise remains one of the most celebrated crime thrillers in Indian cinema.

The announcement came via Mohanlal’s social media, where he shared a picture with Jeethu and Antony, captioned, “The past never stays silent. Drishyam 3 confirmed.” This cryptic powerful message hints at the suspense-filled narrative the series is known for.


Released in 2013, Drishyam changed the game for Malayalam thrillers. The story of Georgekutty, an ordinary man who goes to extreme lengths to protect his family, resonated with audiences across India. The film was later remade in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Sinhalese, and even Mandarin.

Eight years later, Drishyam 2 premiered on Prime Video and managed to surprise audiences yet again. Picking up from where the first film left off, the sequel was praised for its clever storytelling and shocking twists. However, it ended on an ambiguous note, leaving fans wondering what’s next for Georgekutty and his family.

While details about the storyline remain under wraps, director Jeethu Joseph has previously hinted that he has a fitting conclusion in mind. In an interview, he revealed that while the film’s climax is clear in his head, he is still working on connecting the dots. With Mohanlal’s confirmation, it is evident that the team is now confident about moving forward.

Over the years, Jeethu and Mohanlal have worked on multiple projects separately, but Drishyam remains their most iconic collaboration. Fans have been asking about Drishyam 3 ever since the second instalment ended on a cliff-hanger, and now, their wait is finally paying off.

Sumukhi Suresh says Hoemonal proves women back bold comedy on their own terms

Sumukhi Suresh Unfiltered: Why women deserve bigger stages as she brings a riskier 'Hoemonal' to London

Highlights:

  • Comedian-creator Sumukhi Suresh frames Hoemonal as a string of lived moments shaped by “hormones” rather than neat narratives.
  • The show has grown in scope since its last London run: larger venues, fuller ambitions and a clearer audience focus on women.
  • Sumukhi discusses risk, crafting unlikeable protagonists (Pushpavalli), founding Motormouth Writers and the practical demands of touring big productions.

Sumukhi Suresh opened Hoemonal by naming the show’s true co-star: hormones. The title, she says, is not a punchline. It works more like a container for all the loose, messy pieces of life that she threads together onstage — the doubts, the desires, the shifts in confidence, and the everyday disorder most women recognise but rarely hear spoken aloud.

Speaking exclusively to Eastern Eye ahead of her London shows, Sumukhi Suresh is direct, thoughtful and quick with her humour, much like she is onstage.
