Rumors surrounding popular actor Prakash Raj have been swirling recently, particularly concerning his involvement in the highly anticipated film ‘Drishyam 3’. Just days ago, it was reported that he had stepped away from the upcoming movie ‘Spirit’, which stars Prabhas. However, Raj quickly clarified that these claims were false. In the midst of this speculation, a new rumor has emerged online regarding his role in the Hindi adaptation of ‘Drishyam 3’.
It is well-known that Akshaye Khanna will not be reprising his role in the third installment of the ‘Drishyam’ franchise. This has led to discussions about Prakash Raj stepping in to fill the void. Addressing these rumors, Raj took to social media to announce his participation in ‘Drishyam 3’, emphasizing that he is not replacing anyone in the film. His tweet stated, “I am playing a wonderful role in the Hindi movie ‘Drishyam 3’. I am sure you will love it. And yes, I am not replacing anyone.”
The ‘Drishyam’ franchise has gained immense popularity, beginning with its original Malayalam version, which was a significant box office success. The film was later remade in several languages, achieving similar acclaim. The sequel, ‘Drishyam 2’, further solidified the franchise’s reputation, becoming another blockbuster hit. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the third installment, which has already completed filming in the Malayalam version and is gearing up for its Hindi release.
In the Hindi adaptation, Ajay Devgn stars as the lead, with Abhishek Pathak at the helm as director. The film is set to be released on October 2nd, and anticipation is high as both fans and critics look forward to seeing how the story unfolds. Previously, Akshaye Khanna played a pivotal role in ‘Drishyam 2’, portraying a police officer. However, reports suggest that after the success of his recent film ‘Durandhar’, he became difficult to work with regarding remuneration demands, which ultimately led to his departure from ‘Drishyam 3’.
Producer Kumar Mangat Pathak confirmed the situation, indicating that Khanna had requested a significant increase in his pay and even insisted on a wig for his character, despite having appeared bald in the previous installment. According to reports, after Khanna’s exit, the production team decided to cast Jaideep Ahlawat in his place.
With Prakash Raj now confirmed for ‘Drishyam 3’, fans are excited to see what he brings to this already beloved series. His announcement and clarification have put to rest some of the swirling rumors, allowing audiences to focus on the upcoming film and the thrilling journey it promises. As the release date approaches, the buzz surrounding ‘Drishyam 3’ continues to grow, leaving fans eager for more updates and teasers from the production.
