Mohanlal wraps Drishyam 3 shoot as Jeethu Joseph drops a rare BTS Video

Mohanlal has officially wrapped up filming for Drishyam 3, marking a major milestone for one of Indian cinema’s most closely followed thriller franchises. Director Jeethu Joseph confirmed the update by sharing a behind-the-scenes video from the final day of shoot, offering fans a rare glimpse into the atmosphere on set as the team closed out a chapter they have guarded with near-military secrecy.

The BTS clip, posted on Jeethu’s social channels, shows Mohanlal in his Vijay Salgaonkar avatar, interacting with the crew moments before the wrap. The director is seen thanking his team, calling the journey “intense, emotional and incredibly rewarding.” The video sparked immediate buzz, with fans dissecting every frame in search of hints about the plot’s direction. Given the franchise’s obsession with misdirection and carefully timed revelations, even a small visual cue has become fodder for speculation.

Drishyam 3 has been built under tight security. Phones were restricted on crucial shoot days, scripts were circulated in hard copies only, and most actors shot their scenes without a complete view of the script. According to sources from the production team, Jeethu Joseph wanted to preserve the tension and unpredictability that defined the first two films. The director reportedly fine-tuned the screenplay until the last week of filming, ensuring that every emotional beat connected seamlessly to the events of Drishyam and Drishyam 2.

What adds a layer of twist to this update is the parallel tension surrounding the Hindi remake. Reports recently surfaced claiming that Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 announcement had been delayed due to creative clauses requiring the Hindi team to take approval from the Malayalam creators before revealing any content. Meanwhile, the Malayalam version has surged ahead, with Mohanlal completing his portions well in time.

Jeethu Joseph had earlier shared that the characters of Rani, Anju and Anu will experience significant evolution in the third installment, reflecting the emotional residue of the traumatic events that shaped their lives. The director hinted that Anu’s transformation from frightened child to young adult will carry strong emotional weight in the film.

With shoot now wrapped, Drishyam 3 moves into post-production, where the real magic of the franchise often takes shape. But as always, the makers remain tight-lipped about plot details. For now, the BTS video serves as the only official window into the upcoming thriller — a small tease from a team that has mastered the art of keeping secrets.
