Paresh Rawal
For quite some time now, rumours have been rife that actor Paresh Rawal has been onboarded for Drishyam 3 alongside Ajay Devgn. While the film is yet to go on floors as the Hindi makers allegedly await permission from the film`s original Malayalam version makers, including director Jeethu Joseph and the producers, the casting for new characters is in full swing. It was reported that Paresh would play a central character. However, now the veteran actor has confirmed that he declined the film.
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Paresh Rawal admitted that he had been offered Drishyam 3. However, he shared that he hasn’t signed Drishyam 3 because the character offered did not appeal to him. “No, I have not. There’s no truth to these reports at all. Yes, the makers did approach me. But I didn’t feel that the role was suitable for me. Maza nahin aaya (on reading about my part)."
