Bollywood’s favorite suspense series just dropped a bombshell, Prakash Raj is officially on board for Drishyam 3. And honestly, fans can’t stop talking about it. The film’s already rolling, with a stellar cast: Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Jaideep Ahlawat, and now Raj. Mark your calendars: this one hits theaters October 2, 2026. If you thought the first two movies kept you up at night, get ready for even crazier twists this time around.

Prakash Raj isn’t just showing up for a cameo. The man who gave us villains to remember in Wanted and Singham announced on social media that he’s started shooting for Abhishek Pathak’s next big thing. And if you’re wondering, no, he’s not replacing anyone, not Akshaye Khanna, not anyone else. Those internet rumors? Raj shut them down himself. This is a brand-new role, not a cop, and he’s bringing his own brand of unpredictability to the Drishyam universe. Plus, seeing him face off with Devgn again? That’s reason enough to get excited.

The story picks up with Vijay Salgaonkar (Devgn), the regular guy who’ll do anything to protect his family. Tabu’s back as the relentless Meera Deshmukh, still hunting for answers, with Shriya Saran once again playing Vijay’s wife. And then there’s Jaideep Ahlawat, fresh off acclaimed runs in Maharaj and Jaane Jaan, who joined the cast at the end of 2025, making the mind games even sharper. That release date, October 2, isn’t random, either. It’s a nod to a key date in the Drishyam story, so fans already know to expect fireworks.

What’s wild is how big this series has gotten. Drishyam 2 pulled in more than Rs 240 crore across India, and that’s just box office numbers. No wonder everyone expects the final chapter to smash records.

So what’s got everyone so hyped for Drishyam 3? Simple: the franchise is famous for clever, tightly wound plots, and Prakash Raj’s range means he can take the tension anywhere. And if you believe the leaks, this one’s packed with family secrets, police chases, and more mind games than ever before. If you’re looking for updates, cast news, or just want to know how the story wraps up, this is the movie to watch. Bollywood thrillers might never be the same.

Keep your eyes peeled, more news, plot twists, and box office battles are coming. Will Prakash Raj’s character shake up the whole story? October 2026 suddenly feels way too far away.
