Mohanlal shares exciting teaser

In his announcement, Mohanlal wrote, “Years passed. The past didn’t. #Drishyam3 | Worldwide Release | April 2, 2026.” The accompanying video cleverly nods to iconic elements from the first two films, including a vintage television, a shovel, a submerged car, a cell phone, a yellow bag, a CCTV camera, and a script.
