Rajat Kapoor Confirms Return in Drishyam 3, Says His 'Cop Husband' Still Has No Arc

He highlights a broader pattern of authority roles—plus persistent hurdles funding independent projects.

Overview

  • In interviews published December 25, Kapoor said he will reprise the civilian husband to Tabu’s Meera Deshmukh in Abhishek Pathak’s Drishyam 3 and described the part as remaining a background presence.
  • He characterized the role as having “no arc,” joking that he is still standing behind Tabu, and noted there is “nothing to crack” about the character.
  • Kapoor’s 2025 slate reinforces his authority-figure casting trend, including a senior Income Tax officer in Raid 2 and a Director General of Police in Netflix India’s Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders.
  • He said he embraces on-set improvisation and prefers filmmaking that evolves organically instead of rigid adherence to the written script.
  • The actor-filmmaker, a multiple National Award winner, said he has struggled to release a film he completed two years ago and described the current market for independent cinema as bleak.
