After months of anticipation and preparation, the next chapter in the Drishyam franchise is officially underway as production begins. Director Nishikant Kamat’s much-anticipated follow-up, Drishyam 3, has added a strong new cast member to its ensemble, with veteran actor Prakash Raj coming on board the project. According to sources, the seasoned performer will join Ajay Devgn and the rest of the cast as the team gears up to bring the third instalment of this popular thriller series to life.

Prakash Raj, known for his compelling and versatile performances across multiple languages, is set to play a pivotal role in Drishyam 3, adding further weight to an already stellar lineup. While specific character details have been kept under wraps, a Bollywood Hungama source quoted, “Prakash Raj is extremely selective and signs films only when the script and the character genuinely excite him. Drishyam 3 offered both. He was instantly on board and has already begun shooting for the film.”

Drishyam 3 brings back the formidable creative force behind one of Bollywood’s most successful thriller franchises, reuniting Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran and Tabu, with Prakash Raj now joining the ensemble. While many might assume the veteran actor would slip into a familiar cop avatar, sources hint at a far more unexpected turn. “He’s not playing a cop. It’s a fresh, intriguing character, very different from what audiences might expect, and it significantly adds to the narrative,” the Bollywood Hungama insider revealed, suggesting that his presence could introduce a new layer of mystery and tension to the story’s already gripping world.

Interestingly, Drishyam 3 will not be Prakash Raj’s first collaboration with Ajay Devgn. The two seasoned actors have previously shared screen space in films like Singham, where Prakash played the menacing antagonist Jaikant Shikre, a performance that remains one of the most memorable villains in Ajay’s cop universe. Their crackling on-screen face-off was widely appreciated, and fans still recall the intensity he brought to the clash. With that history of powerful performances together, Prakash’s entry into the Drishyam franchise only raises expectations, promising another compelling dynamic between the two actors.

With production underway and more details expected soon, fans are eager to see how the story evolves in this next instalment.
