EXCLUSIVE: Prakash Raj joins the team of Ajay Devgn-starrer Drishyam 3

Drishyam 3 is highly awaited, thanks to the insane popularity of the first two parts, twists and turns, the subject and also the casting. The series comprises talented actors like Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Shriya Saran. In December 2025, another talented actor – Jaideep Ahlawat – came on board. And now, one more veteran, reputed actor, has joined the cast – Prakash Raj. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Prakash Raj is extremely selective and signs films only when the script and the character genuinely excite him. Drishyam 3 offered both. He was instantly on board and has already begun shooting for the film.” There has been speculation that Prakash Raj will be seen as a police officer.
