'We will take...', The makers of Ajay Devgn's upcoming film Drishyam 3 lands in trouble due to...
In a recent conversation with Mathrubhumi, Jeethu Joseph confirmed that the Malayalam version holds priority since it's the original story. He revealed that there was a proposal to shoot both the Hindi and Malayalam versions simultaneously, but no final decision has been made. Initially, the Hindi makers had planned to begin their shoot earlier, but that idea was dropped after a legal warning was hinted at. Joseph emphasized that the story belongs to the Malayalam team and any breach could lead to legal consequences. When the filming of Drishyam 3 commence?
Jeethu Joseph further stated that he is currently focused on completing the screenplay. The Malayalam version of 'Drishyam 3' is set to begin filming in October 2025 and only after that will work on the Hindi version resume. Speaking at an event, Joseph said, 'I finished writing the climax just last night. It's been weighing on me for a long time, but I'm glad to have wrapped it up.' About the 'Drishyam' Universe
The franchise began in 2013 with the Malayalam film 'Drishyam' starring Mohanlal. It tells the intense story of a simple man named Georgekutty, whose life turns upside down after a police officer's son goes missing. The gripping narrative and emotional depth of the film earned it massive praise and led to remakes in several languages: Kannada (2014) with V. Ravichandran, Telugu with Venkatesh Daggubati, Tamil (2015) with Kamal Haasan, and the Hindi version with Ajay Devgn, which added its own unique flavor to the storyline. Now, as both Malayalam and Hindi fans await the next chapter, it's clear that the third part will again aim to keep audiences guessing till the very end.

Vidya Balan Reveals Vidhu Vinod Chopra Asked Her To Get A Nose Job For Parineeta: 'Get Surgery Done'
Vidhu Vinod Chopra told Vidya Balan that her nose was too long. Vidya Balan made a powerful entry into Bollywood with Parineeta (2005), a film adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's classic Bengali novel. Directed by Pradeep Sarkar and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Parineeta showcased Vidya not just as a newcomer, but as an actress of depth and grace, capable of carrying a film with subtle intensity. However, Vidya recently revealed to Filmfare that Vidhu asked her to get a nose job done for the film. 'Vidhu Vinod Chopra said, 'Your nose is too long, let's get a surgery done.' I refused. I've never had anything done to my face — just the odd facial. I've always believed in keeping my face the way God made it," Vidya stated. 'Parineeta was a massive success. Top directors started calling. But at photoshoots, they'd say, 'Let's try something new with you,' and I'd think, 'What have you even seen of me to want something new?' They'd say, 'Let's make you look younger and sexy.' I was open to experimenting, but after a while, it got frustrating," she added. Set in 1960s Kolkata, Parineeta tells the story of Lalita (played by Vidya), an orphan raised by her uncle, and her complex relationship with her childhood friend Shekhar (Saif Ali Khan). The film explores themes of love, pride, and societal boundaries, capturing the essence of old-world romance and class conflict. Lalita is a quiet but strong-willed woman whose emotional resilience and unwavering dignity become the heart of the story. What stood out was Vidya Balan's nuanced performance. She brought warmth, restraint, and emotional honesty to the role. Her chemistry with Saif Ali Khan was both tender and intense, anchoring the emotional weight of the film. Her ability to convey strength through silence and grace marked her as a refreshing departure from the typical debutante. Critics and audiences alike lauded her performance, earning her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut and establishing her as a serious actor in the industry. Parineeta also won praise for its lush cinematography, soulful music by Shantanu Moitra, and the lyrical storytelling that echoed the elegance of Hindi cinema's golden era. Today, Parineeta is remembered as more than just a debut film—it is the beginning of Vidya Balan's journey as one of India's most respected actresses, known for choosing meaningful roles and redefining the portrayal of women in Indian cinema.
