Ajay Devgn is returning as Vijay Salgaonkar for the third and final instalment of the Hindi Drishyam franchise, officially titled Drishyam The Conclusion.
The actor unveiled the first poster for the film on 24 August, confirming that the much-anticipated thriller will arrive in theatres on 2 October, 2026.
The poster carries the line, “Mera Sach, Mera Sahi, Sirf Meri Family Hai” (My truth, my right, only my family), reflecting Vijay’s unwavering determination to protect his family at any cost.
The third instalment marks the conclusion of Vijay’s story, which began with the 2015 Hindi remake of the Malayalam thriller Drishyam.
The character became a fan favourite after using his intelligence and meticulous planning to protect his family following a murder.
The first-look teaser, released in December 2025, offered a glimpse into Vijay’s mindset as he reflected on the many labels attached to him over the years, including criminal, murderer, fraud, hero, father and mastermind.
Drishyam The Conclusion is backed by Star Studio18 and Panorama Studios, with Abhishek Pathak returning to direct.
Pathak has also co-written the screenplay with Aamil Keeyan Khan and Parveez Shaikh. Alok Jain, Ajit Andhare, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Pathak are producing the film.
Alongside Devgn, Tabu will reprise her role as IG Meera Deshmukh, while Shriya Saran returns as Nandini.
Rajat Kapoor is also returning, while Prakash Raj and Jaideep Ahlawat have joined the cast in new roles.
The film has already completed shooting and is currently in post-production.
The Hindi franchise began in 2015 and went on to become one of Bollywood’s most successful thriller franchises.
The first film earned around ₹110 crore worldwide, while Drishyam 2, released in 2022, was an even bigger success, collecting nearly ₹342 crore globally.
Meanwhile, the original Malayalam franchise starring Mohanlal has already moved ahead. Drishyam 3, directed by Jeethu Joseph, was released on 21 May, 2026, and reportedly crossed ₹242 crore worldwide.
Producer Antony Perumbavoor has also confirmed that Drishyam 4 is in development, suggesting that Vijay Salgaonkar’s Hindi journey may be ending just as the original Malayalam franchise enters another chapter.
