Speaking at FICCI Frames about what sets this final instalment apart, Ajay Devgn shared, "The original one they did not have Akshay Khanna's character as such but 3 is a completely new script. They are two very different films. The way Abhishek and the writers have worked so hard on the script for the past maybe two years that it really really gives you a high. The way it has shaped up the scripting and the way Abhishek has made the film, I think it has come out fabulous. That's when we decided that it should be the conclusion."

His words suggest that the strength of the script played a key role in the decision to bring the franchise to a close. According to the actor, the team's sustained effort over nearly two years on the writing is what gave the film its edge.

Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam The Conclusion brings together a powerhouse ensemble for the ultimate chapter of the celebrated franchise. The cast includes Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj, along with Kamlesh Sawant, Ishita Dutta and Mrunal Jadhav, among others.
