The planned announcement of the teaser of the Hindi version of Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam 3 was postponed from October 2, 2025, due to creative and legal conflicts with the makers of the original Malayalam film, directed and written by Jeethu Joseph, and starring Mohanlal. Although both the Hindi and Malayalam versions are moving forward, there have been delays due to disputes over creative control and timing. Now, during the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, Ajay Devgn shared when the Drishyam 3 teaser might get released.

Drishyam 3 update

During the De De Pyaar De 2 trailer launch, Ajay Devgn was asked about the postponement of Drishyam 3 teaser announcement, which was planned to be released on October 2. To this, Ajay revealed, “It (Drishyam 3) will get launched in December. Once that film is launched, we’ll be able to talk about it.”

Meanwhile, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the promo already, but according to reports, the makers of the Hindi version did not get permission from the makers of the original Malayalam version starring Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph.

The tensions rose when the Hindi team announced their release date too soon. "After Mohanlal announced the shoot, the Hindi counterpart’s makers announced that their film would release on October 2, 2026," the insider told Mid-Day earlier.
