The film's producer, Kumar Mangat Pathak, has confirmed that Akshaye Khanna will not be a part of the movie, citing creative differences over his look and remuneration. According to Pathak, Akshaye had issues with the film's director, Abhishek Pathak, and himself, particularly regarding his character's appearance and compensation. Pathak has already sent a legal notice to Akshaye, who walked out of the project just days before filming was set to begin. In a surprising turn of events, Jaideep Ahlawat has been cast in Akshaye's place. Pathak has expressed his confidence in Ahlawat, praising him as a 'better actor and better person' than Akshaye. The two have a history, as Pathak produced Ahlawat's debut film, Aakrosh. The Drishyam franchise, starring Ajay Devgn, has been a massive hit, and fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Drishyam 3. With a new cast member on board and the film's director, Abhishek Pathak, at the helm, the movie is expected to deliver the same thrilling experience as its predecessors. Drishyam 3, which also stars Shriya Saran, Tabu, and Rajat Kapoor, is set to release on October 2, 2026. The film's production has already begun, and it's expected to be a gripping tale of family, loyalty, and justice, as the Devgn family navigates a web of deceit and corruption."
