Rajat Kapoor Confirms Return in Drishyam 3, Says His Character Still Has No Arc

He uses the announcement to spotlight funding and release hurdles facing his independent films.

Overview

  • Kapoor says he will again play Meera Deshmukh’s husband in Abhishek Pathak’s Drishyam 3 and jokes he is still “standing behind Tabu.”
  • He describes the part as a background presence without a personal arc, maintaining the dynamic seen in the earlier films.
  • The actor notes a 2025 run of authority roles, including a senior Income Tax officer in Raid 2 and a Director General of Police in Netflix’s Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders.
  • He emphasizes leaving room for improvisation on set, calling filmmaking an organic process rather than rigid adherence to the script.
  • A National Award–winning director, Kapoor says an independently made film from two years ago remains unreleased and calls the indie landscape bleak despite his cautious hope, while the Hindi Drishyam 3 is slated for October 2, 2026.
