At the trailer launch of Drishyam: The Conclusion, Devgn didn’t talk box office targets or opening weekend hype. He talked respect — for the man who started it all in Malayalam cinema, and for the franchise’s original director, Jeethu Joseph.
“I want Lal sir and Jeethu sir to see the film, and if we get their approval and they love it, it will make me very happy,” Devgn said, addressing years of comparisons between the Hindi and Malayalam versions of the thriller.

What Ajay Devgn Actually Said
Devgn was candid about how different Drishyam 3 is from its predecessors. He explained that while the second film leaned on the original Malayalam script, this one stands entirely on its own — a fresh story, not a remake with tweaks. He also credited director Abhishek Pathak’s growth across the franchise, praising the way the film’s twists were written and executed.
It’s a rare moment of an actor seeking peer validation instead of chasing hype — and it says a lot about how seriously the Drishyam universe is guarded by its makers on both sides.

Why This Approval Matters
Drishyam‘s Hindi version has always lived under a comparison shadow. Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph didn’t just originate the story — they built the emotional template every version since has tried to match. Devgn seeking their nod isn’t insecurity; it’s acknowledgment of where the franchise’s soul actually lives.
Meanwhile, both stars are keeping busy elsewhere. Mohanlal has Athimanoharam, Operation Ganga, and a cameo in Jailer 2 lined up, while Devgn has Ranger, Chauhaan, and Golmaal 5 on his slate — proof neither is slowing down anytime soon.
