Will Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 in hindi affect Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3? here’s what we think.

Earlier this year, it was officially confirmed that Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is returning for Drishyam 3. The third part of the hit thriller series will again be directed by Jeethu Joseph, who also directed the first two movies in the Malayalam franchise.

Now, as per a recent report by Mid-Day, the team behind Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 is planning a pan-India release. This means the film might release in both Malayalam and Hindi languages. This update has created quite a buzz among movie fans and has also raised some concerns.

Will It Affect Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3?

Many fans are now wondering if Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 in Hindi could negatively affect Ajay Devgn’s upcoming Drishyam 3. However, we believe there’s no major reason to worry. Here’s why Mohanlal’s bilingual release might not be a big threat to Ajay Devgn’s version.

Most Hindi Audience Hasn’t Watched the Malayalam Drishyam Movies

When the first Drishyam came out in Malayalam, it became a massive hit. But most people in the Hindi-speaking regions did not watch the original. They waited for Ajay Devgn’s Hindi version instead, which was released not long after the original.

So, why would this same audience suddenly switch to watching Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3, even if it comes out first in Hindi? It’s unlikely, because they are already invested in Ajay Devgn’s version of the story.

Hindi Viewers Are Familiar With Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam Universe

Over time, Hindi movie fans have grown used to the characters, storyline, and actors from Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam films. The second part, Drishyam 2, even added Akshaye Khanna to the cast and was very well-received. This loyalty to the Hindi version means that even if Mohanlal’s version comes out in Hindi, it might not pull away the core audience.

Hindi Drishyam 2 Was a Big Hit

Drishyam 2 (Hindi) received great reviews and was loved by the audience. Some viewers even felt that the Hindi version was just as good—if not better—than the original Malayalam version. This shows that the Hindi audience has confidence in the Hindi franchise and will likely continue to support it, especially with Ajay Devgn in the lead.

Bilingual Release Is a Risk for Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3

If the makers of Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 decide to go for a bilingual release, it could be a risky move. A pan-India release means spending more money on dubbing, promotion, and distribution. And given the points mentioned above, the returns from the Hindi version might not be strong enough to justify the extra cost.

Final Thoughts

Mohanlal is a legendary actor and has a strong fan base across India. But when it comes to the Hindi-speaking belt, Ajay Devgn is a major star. His version of Drishyam has already connected with the Hindi audience. So, it seems unlikely that Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3, even if released in Hindi, will hurt Ajay Devgn’s version in a big way.

In the end, only time will tell how both versions of Drishyam 3 will perform. But as of now, Ajay Devgn’s fans have little reason to worry.
