Drishyam 3 Producers Reveal Major Differences Between Hindi and Malayalam Versions
Producers Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak have announced significant deviations in the upcoming Hindi adaptation of Drishyam 3, starring Ajay Devgn, compared to Mohanlal’s Malayalam original. Although both sequels continue from the narrative endpoint of Drishyam 2, the Hindi version features altered screenplay elements and treatment tailored specifically for Hindi-speaking audiences. Abhishek Pathak emphasized that while the Malayalam installment leans heavily into family drama, the Hindi adaptation adjusts to local viewer preferences, a strategy successfully employed in previous franchise entries. The Hindi film is currently in post-production and scheduled for release on October 2, a date branded as Drishyam Day. Concurrently, the producers discussed Panorama Studios' strategic expansion into Malayalam cinema, a move inspired by the industry's storytelling quality during the lockdown period. This expansion involved extensive research and collaboration with key Malayalam industry figures. While Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 is set for a worldwide theatrical release on May 21, the Hindi version aims to distinguish itself through these targeted narrative changes, highlighting the producers' commitment to regional customization within the successful franchise framework.
