Meanwhile, talking about the idea behind Drishyam 3, Jeethu Joseph told Mathrubhumi, "Even while finishing the second part, I had thoughts about a continuation. Lalettan (Mohanlal) watched Drishyam 2 in my home theatre before OTT release. Perhaps because of the way the second part ended, he asked whether there was scope for a third part. I didn't know then if a third instalment would happen, but I shared some thoughts with him about how I would want the story to end if there was another continuation. I told him what kind of climax Georgekutty's next arrival should have. Lalettan liked it and said, "Write it and if it works, we'll move ahead." That conversation became the starting point. Later, many discussions followed, and eventually it evolved into the third part".
