Since the release of the trailer, fans have flooded social media with reactions. "We're not really watching him... he's watching us...," one user wrote. "This life of constant fear of the police and guilt... In a way, isn't that his punishment?," said another. The third comment read, "The last Dialogue: "Is it over?" "He has a mind that has sworn to burn BOXOFFICE, we can't stop him, MOHANLAL," wrote one fan.
Mohanlal on the film
The film is said to continue from the events of the previous instalment, where Georgekutty goes a step ahead to protect his family and conceal a dark secret. Speaking at a recent event, Mohanlal jokingly said, "I have asked for Georgekutty to be saved multiple times, but he is still not saved. So you can expect a Drishyam 4 also," he said. "This is not a joke. Let people watch the film and let them decide whether we should do a sequel, like four or five."
The actor also revealed that producer Antony Perumbavoor has already discussed ideas for future instalments beyond the third film.
