The wait for the next chapter in the gripping saga of the Salgaonkar family is finally over. Reports confirm that the highly anticipated Hindi crime thriller, Drishyam 3, starring Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran, has officially begun its principal photography in Mumbai. This new development marks the commencement of what is expected to be a dramatic and tightly scheduled production.

Behind the Scenes: The Mumbai Schedule Kicks Off

According to recent reports, Ajay Devgn initiated the shooting for Drishyam 3 on December 15th in Mumbai. The initial phase is a focused, ten-day schedule dedicated primarily to indoor sequences. This methodical start suggests a clear vision for the film’s domestic segments before the production shifts gears.

The directorial reins for this third installment are once again firmly in the hands of Abhishek Pathak, who successfully helmed the second part. The core cast, which forms the backbone of this compelling franchise, is set to reunite shortly. Fans will be eager to see the return of Tabu as the formidable Inspector General Meera Deshmukh and Akshaye Khanna in his potent role, both of whom will join Devgn on the Mumbai sets soon. Their inevitable clash is what defines the essence of the Drishyam narrative, making their reunion one of the film’s most awaited aspects.

The Clock is Ticking: A Race Against Time

The production team has reportedly set a rigorous and strict timeline to capitalize on the current momentum. The brief Mumbai schedule is expected to wrap up around the Christmas holiday. This will be followed by a short break for the New Year, allowing the cast and crew a brief respite before diving into the marathon shoot.

The main production is anticipated to resume in earnest during the first week of January 2026. The ambitious goal is to complete the entire film’s shooting schedule by April 2026. This compressed timeline underscores the producers’ determination to bring the conclusion of the Georgekutty (Vijay Salgaonkar in Hindi) saga to the big screen as efficiently as possible.

Devgn’s Dedication: From Forest Officer to Family Man

The launch of Drishyam 3 immediately follows the completion of Ajay Devgn’s prior commitment, the action-adventure film Ranger. Known for his disciplined work ethic and demanding shooting schedules, Devgn swiftly transitioned from playing a forest officer in the Jagan Shakti-directed movie to stepping back into the shoes of the sharp-witted family man, Vijay Salgaonkar. The Ranger shoot itself was physically demanding, requiring the team to shift to the Palghar forests due to external weather restrictions, a challenge Devgn successfully navigated.

This transition highlights Devgn’s professional versatility and commitment, moving from a physically challenging role to a complex, character-driven thriller. As the first phase of Drishyam 3 unfolds, anticipation is building for the final, dramatic confrontation that promises to be the most intense chapter yet in the cinematic cat-and-mouse game.
