Mohanlal To Have Back-To-Back Releases In April 2026 With Drishyam 3 and Patriot

Kochi, January 13 - Superstar Mohanlal is all set to dominate the box office in 2026 with two of highly anticipated releases arriving back-to-back. The legendary actor will be seen in Drishyam 3, the third instalment of the blockbuster thriller franchise, followed closely by the big-budget multi-starrer Patriot.

Drishyam 3, directed by Jeethu Joseph, will see Mohanlal reprise his iconic role as Georgekutty, a character that has become one of the most celebrated in Indian cinema. The Drishyam franchise enjoys massive popularity not only in Malayalam but also across multiple languages, making the third chapter one of the most anticipated films of 2026.

The makers have confirmed an April 2026 release, with reliable reports suggesting an April 3rd release, ensuring a strong holiday window for the thriller, which is expected to once again rely on sharp writing and gripping storytelling rather than spectacle. The Hindi version of the movie, headlined by Ajay Devgn, will be released on October 2nd.

Soon after, Mohanlal will return to the big screen with Patriot, a large-scale political-espionage thriller directed by Mahesh Narayanan. The film boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast featuring Mammootty alongside Mohanlal, marking one of the most talked-about collaborations in Malayalam cinema in recent years.

While the makers are yet to lock the official release date, reports suggest that the movie will be hitting the big screens on April 23, three weeks after Drishyam 3's global rollout. This strategic April 2026 lineup not only strengthens Mohanlal's box office presence but also sets the stage for one of the most exciting months for Malayalam cinema in recent times.
