A cake-cutting tribute to Lalettan

The team marked the occasion by cutting a cake, celebrating Mohanlal not just as an actor but as an icon of Indian cinema.

Sharing the photos online, Meena wrote, “To call Lalettan a co-star is an honour, but to call him a friend is a blessing. His dedication and brilliance shine in every role, and Drishyam is another chapter in this beautiful journey of friendship and cinema. So proud of you Laletta @mohanlal @jeethu4ever. Excited for our 3rd sequel of Drishyam.”

Jeethu Joseph on 'Drishyam 3' release date

Speaking during the film’s pooja ceremony, director Jeethu Joseph urged fans to come with curiosity rather than towering expectations. He said, “Drishyam 3 will be a good film, but people should not set sky-high expectations. The release date will only be decided once filming is completed, and that decision lies with the producers.”

A family story beyond thriller

Opening up about the film’s plot, Jeethu Joseph clarified that the focus remains on Georgekutty’s family. “What is happening in Georgekutty’s family now? What is their current situation? That is what 'Drishyam 3' will portray. This is not a film made to stand above the first two parts. It takes place after four and a half years, what happened in Georgekutty’s household during that time, what could possibly happen, that is what the movie explores. 'Drishyam' is not to be viewed as just a thriller. It is essentially a family drama.”
