‘Sorry, Ajay Devgn': Amid Thudarum OTT release, Mohanlal fans light up social media with heartfelt tributes
Amid Thudarum OTT release, Mohanlal fans have lit up social media with heartfelt tributes. On May 30, the Malayalam thriller started streaming on JioHotstar. One fan called Mohanlal 'Malayalis never-ending love story'. Another wrote, 'We've witnessed his magic countless times, but this one hits different and it's SPECIAL.' One fan wrote, 'More than the massive box office success, true joy of Thudarum lies in the fact that it served as a response to all the POST COVID cinephiles who had questioned his acting abilities.' 'The whole theatre erupted when Mohanlal jumped through the broken window…The Unmatchable flexibility, Perfection & Infinite aura of this 65 aged man,' came from another. There is no official confirmation that Ajay Devgn is making a Bollywood remake of Thudarum. However, Mohanlal fans already seem wary about the possibility. 'Unfortunately for Ajay Devgan he cannot remake "Thudarum" like he remade Drishyam 1 & Drishyam 2 from Mohanlal. Because Thudarum is not just a well scripted movie, it's a celebration and ode to India's best and finest actor - Mohanlal the Goat. Nobody can replace him here. Period!' wrote one fan on Facebook. 'Sorry Ajay Devgn sir, you can't replicate this. Everyone please watch this film before Ajay Devgn ruins it in hindi remake,' wrote one Mohanlal fan. Ajay Devgn has starred in Hindi remakes of Malayalam films originally featuring Mohanlal. The most prominent examples are Drishyam (2015) and Drishyam 2 (2022): The original Malayalam Drishyam (2013), directed by Jeethu Joseph, starred Mohanlal. As Georgekutty, the Malayalam cinema legend plays a man protecting his family after an accidental crime. Devgn played the equivalent role, Vijay Salgaonkar, in the Hindi version It was a critical and commercial success. Drishyam 2 (2021 in Malayalam) continued the story. Devgn's Hindi remake (directed by Abhishek Pathak) grossing approximately Rs. 350 crore worldwide. It was one of 2022's biggest Bollywood hits. Rohit Shetty's 2006 film Golmaal: Fun Unlimited is widely reported to be a remake of the 2001 Malayalam film Kakkakuyil, also starring Mohanlal. While Golmaal is said to be loosely based on a Marathi play "Ghar Ghar", it has strong thematic and plot similarities to the Priyadarshan directorial as well. Earlier reports indicated that Ajay Devgn was set to remake Mohanlal's crime thriller Oppam (2016). In that movie, Mohanlal played a blind lift operator.

'Drishyam 3' is CONFIRMED; Ajay Devgn set to return as Vijay Salgaonkar amidst doubts around the film with the Mohanlal starrer releasing in Hindi as well
In April this month, a report suggested that Mohanlal and director Jeethu Joseph are set to release 'Drishyam 3' not just in Malayalam but also in Hindi. The report suggested plans of a Pan-India release for the Mohanlal starrer which raised doubts about the Hindi version of 'Drishyam 3' starring Ajay Devgn . This would raise trouble for the Ajay Devgn starrer as that was consumed by the north audiences. But if the original itself releases in Hindi, would people want to see another Hindi version? This would create a major competition between the two movies. Amidst these doubts around 'Drishyam 3', the Ajay Devgn starrer is finally confirmed. According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the film has been confirmed in a formal announcement filed with the Bombay Stock Exchange on May 29, 2025 under Regulation 30 of SEBI's Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements. The production house Panorama Studios has confirmed the same. This letter states that once again Ajay Devgn will star in the lead role and Abhishek Pathak will direct the third part after he directed 'Drishyam 2'. Clearly, fans of the Hindi franchise will be quite excited with this news and would be waiting for it. The first two parts of 'Drishyam' have done phenomenally well at the box office. But apart from that, they've also become a huge part of the pop culture with the whole October 2 schedule of Vijay Salgaonkar and his family. Incidentally, just as the news gets confirmed today, Ajay Devgn was asked about 'Drishyam 3' at the trailer launch of 'Maa' in Mumbai on May 29. As he was about to answer the question, the host requested that this is not the platform to talk about 'Drishyam 3' and thus it was avoided. But fans can now get happy as the project is greenlit and people cannot wait for it. 'Drishyam' and 'Drishyam 2' both starred Tabu and the movies were also largely about Vijay Salgaonkar Vs Meera Deshmukh, so the actress could very much be a part of the third installment but there's no confirmation on that as of now. The second part also starred Akshaye Khanna. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
