  "account": "Ajay Devgn is set to star in the final chapter of the Hindi Drishyam franchise, titled Drishyam The Conclusion, which will be released on October 2nd. The release date coincides with the Salgaonkar family's decision to create a false alibi on the night of the accidental killing, according to the announcement made by Ajay Devgn on social media. The film marks the end of Vijay Salgaonkar's story and is expected to benefit from the Gandhi Jayanti public holiday and the long weekend, likely increasing theatre footfalls. Ajay Devgn expressed his personal perspective, stating, \"Har insaan ka nazariya alag hota hai… mere liye meri family hi sab kuch hai\" (Every person's viewpoint is different... for me, my family is everything). The poster for Drishyam The Conclusion features the line, \"Mera Sach, Mera Sahi, Sirf Meri Family Hai\" (My truth, my right, only my family). The first-look teaser had previously hinted at the story's climax, with Ajay Devgn's voiceover mentioning that \"the world calls me by many names... but it doesn't matter to me.\" Drishyam The Conclusion is produced by Star Studio18 and Panorama Studios, and directed by Abhishek Pathak, who co-wrote the film alongside Aamil Keeyan Khan and Parveez Shaikh. Tabu reprises her role as IG Meera Deshmukh, while Shriya Saran plays Nandini. Prakash Raj and Jaideep Ahlawat join the cast. The Hindi Drishyam franchise, based on Mohanlal's Malayalam film, began in 2015 and went on to gross around Rs 110 crore worldwide. Drishyam 2, released in 2022, also proved to be a major success, earning around Rs 342 crore globally. Mohanlal's Drishyam universe continues with the development of Drishyam 4, announced by producer Antony Perumbavoor during the Mazhavil Manorama Awards.",
