Taking to his X handle, Mohanlal announced the film's release date along with a short teaser video, "Years passed. The past didn't. #Drishyam3 | Worldwide Release | April 2, 2026," he wrote in the caption.

In September 2025, the filmmakers began shooting the movie and released photos from a puja ceremony. The inaugural event featured a traditional lamp-lighting and pooja. Director Jeethu Joseph and producer Antony Perumbavoor were present alongside Mohanlal. In the pictures, Mohanlal is seen holding the film's clapperboard.

The film is directed by Jeethu Joseph, with Mohanlal playing the lead role. The Dadasaheb Phalke Award-winning actor portrays Georgekutty in the 'Drishyam' series. The first part of the series debuted in 2013.

The 'Drishyam' series chronicles the challenges faced by George Kutty and his family when they become suspects after the son of the Inspector General of Police goes missing. 'Drishyam 3' is the highly anticipated sequel in the series, which has achieved significant success in the film industry, resulting in numerous remakes in both Bollywood and South Indian cinema.

With the release date now announced, the Mohanlal-led film is set to premiere before Ajay Devgn's Hindi version of 'Drishyam 3'.
