If Drishyam 3 continues its momentum at the box office, it could soon cross the Rs 500 crore mark, making it Ajay Devgn’s first film to achieve the milestone in a career spanning over three decades.

The final instalment in the Drishyam franchise underwent several changes to its script and cast. One of the most significant developments came after Akshaye Khanna exited the film following the success of Dhurandhar, reportedly owing to creative differences and a disagreement over his fee.

Jaideep Ahlawat was subsequently brought on board, not as a replacement for Akshaye Khanna’s character, but to play an entirely new character who takes the story forward.
