According to the latest reports by Manorama News channel, Drishyam 3 has indeed created a new record in Malayalam cinema, with its theatrical and digital rights.

The new update was confirmed by the senior film producer Renjith Rejaputhra, who recently collaborated with Mohanlal for the blockbuster film, Thudarum.

Even though the actual theatrical and digital rights of Drishyam 3 have been sold for a lesser price than the rumoured rate, it is still a fantastic deal.

Now, the trade experts and industry insider strongly believe that Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph's ambitious project will have a record-breaking opening, and a fantastic run, at the box office.
