Ajay Devgn, ever the sharp wit, pulled a curtain on a hypothetical casting on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show. When Kapil asked if Kajol could have been in the first film, Ajay replied, “The first film wouldn’t have been made!”—a punch that sent the audience into a ripple of laughter.
The joke landed on a point that still echoes in the industry: Drishyam: The Conclusion, slated for October 2, is the franchise’s third chapter and the first Hindi installment that breaks from the Malayalam roots with an original storyline. Director Abhishek Pathak confirmed the shift, noting the film will “carve its own mystery” rather than rehashing earlier scripts.
Ajay wasn’t alone in the spotlight. Co‑stars Shriya Saran, Esha Dutta, Jaideep Ahlawat and Mrunal Jadhav joined the conversation, each tossing in a quip about how tightly the Drishyam plot is kept under wraps. Their banter added a layer of camaraderie, showing that the ensemble’s chemistry extends beyond the set.
Behind the scenes, Panorama Studios and Star Studio18 are steering the venture, a partnership that has already cemented the franchise’s cult following after the 2015 original and the 2022 sequel. The box‑office success of those films keeps audiences glued to every twist and turn.
So, as the hype builds, the real question isn’t whether Kajol could have altered the script, but how the new installment will keep fans on edge. Verdict: Drishyam: The Conclusion promises suspense, a fresh narrative, and a twist that will keep the mystery alive.
