More About Drishyam 3: The Conclusion
Drishyam 3: The Conclusion brings back Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar, whose carefully planned efforts to protect his family have been at the centre of the first two films.
The new chapter puts Vijay under fresh pressure as another investigation threatens to uncover what he has managed to keep hidden. The Hindi version takes a different route from the Malayalam Drishyam story, giving Vijay Salgaonkar's journey its own conclusion.
Jaideep Ahlawat joins the franchise as Crime Branch officer Rajveer Singh Tomar, while Tabu, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, Rajat Kapoor and Prakash Raj also feature in the cast.
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film is written by Aamil Keeyan Khan and Parveez Shaikh. It is produced by Alok Jain, Ajit Andhare, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, and presented by Star Studio18.
Drishyam: The Conclusion is now playing in theatres worldwide from October 2.
