Ajay Devgn’s latest film Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has become a major talking point following its release, with the film reportedly earning more than Rs 270 crore worldwide within its first three days. As audiences discuss the third instalment’s storyline and climax, screenwriter Aamil Keeyan Khan has revealed the extent of work that went into developing the final chapter of the franchise.

Aamil Khan recalled writing more than 100 versions of the film while working to arrive at the final story. The writer said he had worked through so many iterations that he had almost lost count. The process reflected the difficulty of creating a conclusion for a franchise in which the earlier films had established Vijay Salgaonkar as a character who repeatedly outsmarts the authorities while protecting his family.

The writer also revealed how closely people around him followed the development of the story. Aamil Khan said some of his friends were so curious about the ending that they tried to bribe him to reveal what would happen. Their interest was particularly focused on the climax, which had become one of the most closely guarded elements of the film during its development.

Drishyam 3 brings Devgn back as Vijay Salgaonkar, the central character of the franchise. The first two films built the story around Vijay’s efforts to protect his family after a crime and his attempts to stay ahead of the investigation. The third film continues that narrative while serving as the concluding chapter of the story, increasing the pressure on the writers to deliver an ending that could satisfy audiences familiar with the franchise.

The scale of the writing process highlights the challenges involved in developing the final instalment of a successful series. With the earlier films having established major characters, relationships and narrative expectations, the third film needed to continue the existing story while providing a definitive conclusion. Aamil Khan’s account of more than 100 versions indicates how extensively the screenplay was revised before the final version was completed.

The film has received significant attention from audiences since its release, with its reported worldwide collection crossing Rs 270 crore in three days. The climax has also become a major part of discussions surrounding the movie, making Aamil Khan’s comments about protecting the ending particularly relevant. His revelation that friends attempted to bribe him for information also underlines the level of curiosity surrounding how Vijay Salgaonkar’s story would ultimately conclude.
