Bollywood star Ajay Devgn has revealed an interesting detail ahead of the theatrical release of Drishyam: The Conclusion. The actor personally called Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and asked him to watch the Hindi film and share his feedback.

The revelation comes just ahead of the film’s scheduled theatrical release on October 2, 2026.

The new film marks the third and final chapter of the Hindi Drishyam franchise, with Ajay Devgn returning as Vijay Salgaonkar.

Ajay Devgn Wanted Mohanlal’s Approval

During a recent discussion about the upcoming film, Ajay Devgn revealed that he had contacted Mohanlal and wanted the Malayalam superstar to watch Drishyam: The Conclusion.

Mohanlal, who played the lead role in the original Malayalam Drishyam franchise, could not watch the film at that time because he was on holiday.

Ajay’s decision to seek Mohanlal’s feedback is significant because the Hindi Drishyam franchise originated from the Malayalam film starring Mohanlal.

For Ajay, getting a positive response from Mohanlal and director Jeethu Joseph would be personally meaningful.

Hindi Drishyam 3 Is a Different Story

One of the most important points surrounding Drishyam: The Conclusion is that the Hindi film is not a remake of Mohanlal’s Malayalam Drishyam 3.

Ajay Devgn has previously clarified that the Hindi third instalment follows a completely different script.

The first two Hindi films were adaptations of the Malayalam Drishyam and Drishyam 2. However, the third Hindi film takes the franchise in a new direction with an original story.

Director Abhishek Pathak has also confirmed that the Hindi film is different from the Malayalam third instalment.

This means audiences watching the two versions should not expect the same storyline or the same conclusion.

Ajay Devgn Returns as Vijay Salgaonkar

Ajay Devgn once again plays Vijay Salgaonkar, the central character of the Hindi franchise.

The character has become closely associated with the franchise’s mystery-driven storyline, where family, secrets and carefully planned actions play an important role.

The makers have officially positioned Drishyam: The Conclusion as the final instalment of the Hindi franchise.

Release Date: October 2, 2026

Drishyam: The Conclusion is scheduled to release in cinemas on October 2, 2026.

The film is directed by Abhishek Pathak, who also directed Drishyam 2. Ajay Devgn returns in the lead role, with Tabu, Shriya Saran, Jaideep Ahlawat, Prakash Raj, Rajat Kapoor and Ishita Dutta among the cast.

The film has also received a UA 16+ certification from the Central Board of Film Certification, with a reported runtime of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.

A Different Conclusion for the Hindi Franchise

The simultaneous existence of the Hindi and Malayalam Drishyam franchises has created an unusual situation for Indian cinema.

Mohanlal’s Malayalam franchise has moved forward with its own third chapter, while the Hindi version starring Ajay Devgn has chosen a separate story for its conclusion.

For audiences familiar with both films, this difference could make the Hindi finale particularly interesting because the ending of Vijay Salgaonkar’s story will not simply follow the Malayalam version.

What Happens to Vijay Salgaonkar?

The biggest question now is how the Hindi franchise will conclude Vijay Salgaonkar’s story.

After two films built around mystery, family protection and carefully constructed narratives, the third instalment is expected to provide the final chapter of the Hindi storyline.

However, the makers have kept several important story details under wraps, meaning audiences will have to wait for the theatrical release to discover how the story concludes.

Bollywood Box Office Focus

With Drishyam: The Conclusion arriving on October 2, attention will now shift toward its audience response and theatrical performance.

The film enters cinemas as a major franchise release, but its actual box-office performance will become clear only after ticket sales are reported following release.

PollywoodBoxOffice.com will continue tracking the film’s opening-day collection, weekend performance, audience response and overall box-office journey.
