The Malayalam blockbuster franchise Drishyam 3 is all set to release this summer, creating strong buzz among fans. Naturally, there were expectations that the film would also be remade in Telugu and Tamil, just like the previous installments.

In Telugu, Venkatesh Daggubati headlined the earlier versions under the title Drushyam, while in Tamil, Kamal Haasan reprised the lead role. However, industry sources now suggest that remakes in both languages may not materialize this time.

One major reason is Venkatesh’s soaring market value after the massive success of Sankranthiki Vastunnam. His remuneration and market range have reportedly increased significantly, making it difficult for the makers to mount Drushyam 3 within a controlled budget. At the same time, producers are said to be cautious about scaling up the budget, considering the film’s realistic market potential. As a result, plans for the Telugu remake appear to have been dropped.

On the Tamil front, Kamal Haasan is currently occupied with multiple prestigious projects, including a film alongside Rajinikanth. Reports suggest he is not particularly keen on revisiting the franchise, leading to uncertainty around the Tamil version as well.

The status of the Hindi adaptation, previously headlined by Ajay Devgn, remains unclear at this stage.

With the growing dominance of OTT platforms and audiences increasingly comfortable watching films in their original language with subtitles or dubbed versions, the trend of remaking films has slowed down. Unless there is a simultaneous multi-language release, investing in separate remakes may no longer be a viable strategy.
