The makers of Drishyam 3 have officially welcomed Jaideep Ahlawat to the franchise, and the announcement has already sparked strong reactions among fans. Adding fuel to the buzz, the film’s producer has made a bold statement, calling Jaideep “a better actor and a better person” than Akshaye Khanna, who played a key role in Drishyam 2.
Speaking about the casting decision, the producer praised Jaideep Ahlawat’s intense screen presence, versatility, and commitment to his craft. According to him, Jaideep brings a rare combination of authenticity and emotional depth that aligns perfectly with the darker, more complex narrative planned for Drishyam 3. He also highlighted the actor’s professionalism and humility off-screen, stating that these qualities played a significant role in finalising him for the project.
While Akshaye Khanna’s portrayal in Drishyam 2 was widely appreciated, the producer clarified that the comparison was not meant to undermine his contribution. Instead, he described it as a reflection of Jaideep’s growth as an actor and the fresh energy he brings to the franchise. The team believes Jaideep’s casting will elevate the psychological tension and moral complexity that the Drishyam series is known for.
Drishyam 3 is expected to continue the gripping storyline revolving around truth, deception, and justice, with higher stakes and more layered characters. With Jaideep Ahlawat joining the cast, expectations have risen significantly, and fans are eager to see how his character reshapes the narrative.
The film is currently in the early stages of development, and further details regarding the cast and release timeline are expected to be announced in the coming months.
