How a Badminton Game Inspired Drishyam's Iconic Twist

The anticipation for 'Drishyam 3', starring Mohanlal, is high with a confirmed release date of April 2, 2026. Director Jeethu Joseph revealed the extensive creative journey behind the franchise, noting that the story's evolution took nearly a decade.

The initial concept for 'Drishyam' originated from a casual conversation about moral responsibility, with early versions envisioned as courtroom dramas. The narrative began to solidify as mobile phone usage became more prevalent and its potential for misuse grew, influencing the plot.

Remarkably, the film's legendary climax, involving the concealment of a body beneath a police station, was reportedly conceived by Joseph purely by chance while playing shuttle badminton. This single idea transformed the script and cemented 'Drishyam' as a landmark Indian thriller.

Mohanlal portrays Georgekutty, whose seemingly ordinary life is disrupted by a fatal accident involving a police officer's son. The ensuing struggle against the police, culminating in Georgekutty's ingenious hiding of the body, redefined suspense storytelling. The meticulous effort behind the original fuels excitement for 'Drishyam 3'.
