Giving an update on Drishyam 3 , Jeethu Joseph said that the film will be released simultaneously in Hindi, Malayalam and Telugu. The main storyline of the film will be different from each other. It has been said that things will be different according to the elements, narrative and audience. But almost the same storyline will be seen in the part of the film. Talking to Manorama Online , 'Still writing the script, the release date will be the same', says Jeethu Joseph, who helmed the first two parts of the acclaimed thriller.
The director further said the final script is yet to be handed over. 'They are waiting for the script to be finished,' Joseph said. He continued, 'Once the script is complete, I'll hand it over so each team can tweak it to better suit their respective audiences, just like we did with the first two films. But the main storyline will still be mine.'
'It's nearly impossible to get all the lead actors' dates aligned,' the director said, mentioning that even actor Mohanlal's availability may not line up with actors Ajay Devgn and Daggubati Venkatesh (in Telugu version).

Genelia Deshmukh holds the story's big twist in Kireeti Reddy's Junior
Junior is one of the most awaited films in Telugu cinema as it marks the debut of Kireeti Reddy in Telugu cinema. Varahi Chalana Chitram has backed the film, which has been directed by Radhakrishna Reddy, who'd earlier made the Kannada film Mayabazar 2016. Ahead of the film's July 18 release, the makers revealed the trailer, which hinted at Genalia Deshmukh playing a pivotal role. Genelia has an importatnt role in Kireeti Reddy's Junior A fan of Genelia? Stream her films Ved and Satyam on Jio Hotstar via OTTplay Premium The trailer showcases a very interesting subject where the main lead, Kireeti Reddy, is born very late to his parents, and because of this, a unique situation is created in their lives. The specialty of the film is that actress Genelia Deshmukh, who was once a sensation in Telugu cinema, makes her comeback. She is seen as one of the top management professionals in a college, and her role is quite key to the film. By the looks of it, Genelia makes an entry at the interval point, and she has a connection rooted in the story, which is the turning point in the tale. This aspect of Genelia and the mystery around her role has created a lot of curiosity among audiences. Kireeti impresses with a strong screen presence, and Sreeleela plays the female lead. The duo has solid chemistry and keeps things entertaining, but it is Genelia's character that, the makers say, is going to be one of the highlights. We have also come to know that she brings a key twist to the film. What it is and why she has been included in the cast will only be known when you watch the film. Dr Ravichandran's emotional role is one of the highlights Kannada actor Dr. Ravichandran plays a key role in the film as Kireeti's father. His background, the emotions, and the connection with Genelia's character are going to form the basic backdrop of Junior. With the trailer, the makers have also revealed that Junior will be out on July 18, 2025. RRR cameraman KK Senthil Kumar has shot the film, and Devi Sri Prasad of Pushpa fame has composed the music. Already, two songs have become chartbusters, and the trailer showcases Kireeti in a hyperactive avatar. The trailer has become a talking point and is a complete package of entertainment and emotions. Initially, when stills and promos were launched, not many knew what the film was about. Everyone thought it was just another college love story meant to showcase the hero's talent, but there is more to it. The story of Junior has a rooted connection to the village, and how the hero goes back to his roots and sets things right.

A full-throttle flashback: Poonam Saxena on India's early F1 film, Apradh
Feroz Khan's directorial debut, it featured the flamboyant star in the role of a race-car driver. The opening credits consisted of four-and-a-half minutes of real racing footage from Nurburgring, Germany. (Khan is said to have bought the footage from a local TV channel.) I remember thinking it slightly curious that Khan would choose professional car-racing as the backdrop of his first movie, at a time when there was hardly any public awareness of the sport in India. But then this was an actor known for his cool Western style. He had a personal fondness for leather boots and cowboy hats. The heroines in his films wore miniskirts and short shorts. In Apradh, when the hero, Ram, first meets the heroine, Meena (Mumtaz), she is wearing a gold jacket, knee-high boots and tiny shorts (which were called hot pants back in the day). Later on, she wears a black string bikini, then considered a very daring move. Some heroines did wear swimsuits in films; Nalini Jaywant, in fact, wore one as far back as the 1950 film Sangram. But these were usually demure one-piece affairs, sometimes extending into rather long shorts. Skimpy bikinis were a rarity. In a recent TV interview, Mumtaz said she was hesitant to wear the bikini at first. Khan convinced her to give it a shot. 'He promised me he would cut the scene if I disapproved of it… when I saw the scene I thought I was looking very nice,' she said. The first half of Apradh is set in Europe and follows the racer Ram as he helps Meena escape the clutches of a vicious gang of diamond-smugglers. In the second half, the racing car is forgotten and the action shifts to India. Ram and Meena marry and he finds a job as a factory foreman. But their troubles are far from over. He must now fight another gang of criminals, this one led by his brother Harnam (Prem Chopra). The two parts seem almost like two different films, though both contain early signs of Khan's penchant for over-the-top villains. The baddies in the first half include a dazed hoodlum in sunglasses and brightly coloured clothes, and a sadistic and scantily clad moll. Back in India, Harnam's nightclub is eye-popping: it has a revolving bar surrounded by small circular pools in which bikini-clad women frolic. There is also a stuffed leopard on a wall, several fountains, and a man in a sombrero playing a guitar. It always seemed to me that Khan struggled to marry his keen Western sensibilities with the conventions of commercial Hindi cinema. Sometimes the marriage was successful, as in the box-office hit Qurbani (1980; about two men in love with the same woman, and a villain determined to use this against them). With its star cast of Khan, Vinod Khanna, Zeenat Aman, Amjad Khan and Amrish Puri, it had flourishes typical of the director. Early on, for instance, Khan smashes the villain's Mercedes to prove a point (at a time when most Indians wouldn't even have recognised the logo.) Apradh contains many elements that would become hallmarks of Khan's filmmaking style: dashing heroes, leading ladies full of oomph, fast cars, kinetic action, eye-catching costumes, great songs and, occasionally, an exotic 'foreign' connection (his 1975 film Dharmatma, a desi take on The Godfather (1972), was the first Hindi film to be shot in Afghanistan). He was sometimes called the 'Clint Eastwood of Hindi cinema', probably because of the boots and hat. But he was one of a kind. Khan, who died aged 69, in 2009, has long been acknowledged as one of the most, if not the most, stylish actor-directors in Bollywood. No wonder he chose Formula racing as the backdrop of his first film.
