Following the massive success of Drishyam (2015) and its blockbuster sequel Drishyam 2 (2022), anticipation for Drishyam 3 is sky-high, with the film scheduled for release on October 2, 2026. Recently, rumors surfaced suggesting that veteran actor Paresh Rawal might be joining the cast, sparking excitement among fans.
However, in an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Paresh Rawal clarified the speculation, stating, “No, I have not signed the film. There’s no truth to these reports at all.” When asked if he was offered a role, he confirmed,
“Yes, the makers did approach me. But I didn’t feel the role suited me. Maza nahin aaya (I didn’t enjoy reading my part).”
He added, “But the script is very good. I was really impressed. Even with a compelling script, you need a role that excites you, otherwise it won’t be enjoyable.”
Paresh also spoke about his recent film Thamma, where his portrayal of a suspicious father has been well received. Smiling, he said, “Yes, I heard it is doing well.” He also mentioned being in Ahmedabad, suggesting he might not have seen the film yet.
