Drishyam 3 Dilemma: Will Mohanlal's Release Spoil Venkatesh's Finale; Inside the ₹130 Cr OTT Buzz and Delay Rumors

The Drishyam franchise, widely regarded as one of the greatest crime-thrillers in Indian cinema history, is facing a potential strategic crisis as it gears up for its third and final installment. While the series has successfully travelled from Malayalam to multiple languages including Telugu, Hindi, and Chinese, fresh reports suggest a disruption in the production timeline. Viral buzz indicates that while Mohanlal's original Malayalam version is moving ahead at full speed, the Telugu adaptation starring Venkatesh Daggubati is currently stuck in the pre-production phase. This discrepancy has sparked fears among the trade and fans alike regarding the potential impact on the Telugu version's box office prospects. Adding fuel to the fire are reports regarding a massive digital deal for the Malayalam original. Speculation is rife that the OTT rights for the Mohanlal starrer have already been sold for a staggering ₹130 Crore. If the Malayalam version releases theatrically first and follows the standard 4-week window before premiering on streaming platforms, the suspense—the backbone of the Drishyam series—will be revealed to a global audience almost immediately. This creates a spoiler timebomb for the Telugu version, as audiences might already know the twist ending before Venkatesh's Rambabu even returns to the screen. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This situation contradicts the earlier strategy reportedly agreed upon by the producers. In the past, verified reports from the camps of Suresh Babu (producer of the Telugu version) and Antony Perumbavoor (producer of the Malayalam original) suggested a historic Simultaneous Release plan. The idea was to shoot both versions concurrently and release them on the same day across India to protect the climax and ensure maximum footfall for both superstars. The logic was simple: avoid the Drishyam 2 scenario, where the Malayalam version's direct-to-OTT release meant the suspense was already public knowledge by the time the Telugu remake arrived. However, if the latest viral claims are true and the Telugu production is indeed lagging, the makers face a tough choice. Either the Malayalam team delays their release to wait for the Telugu counterpart—risking interest on their heavy investment—or they proceed with a solo release, effectively turning the Telugu version into a known story rather than a fresh thriller. As fans eagerly await an official clarification, the race between Georgekutty and Rambabu has become just as suspenseful as the movies themselves.
