New Delhi — The veteran duo Abbas‑Mustan have officially unveiled their forthcoming thriller 3 Monkeys, debuting a motion poster on Gandhi Jayanti that grants fans the first glimpse of the film’s enigmatic cast.
The New Trio
At the heart of the mystery are three newcomers: Vishal Jethwa steps into the shoes of Amar, Mustafa Burmawala embodies Akbar, and Tenzin Dalha appears as Anthony. The marquee name Arjun Rampal is listed as Sanjay, though the nature of his connection to the trio remains under tight wraps.
A Modern Take on an Ancient Maxim
Inspired by the classic Three Wise Monkeys, the film re‑imagines the age‑old philosophy with a contemporary slogan: “Sab Dekho. Apni Suno. Bekhauf Bolo.” The motion poster showcases the protagonists as shadowy silhouettes, deliberately obscuring the forces that will bind them.
Release Schedule and Box‑Office Landscape
Produced by Allarakha Vohra, Faruk Vohra and Sayeed Vohra and presented by AJ Film Entertainment World, 3 Monkeys is set to hit theaters worldwide on December 4, 2026. Its opening weekend will see it vying against Shraddha Kapoor’s Eetha and an untitled comedy headlined by Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan.
“We wanted to craft a thriller that respects the old adage while speaking to today’s audience,” said director Abbas.
- Competing release: Eetha (Shraddha Kapoor)
- Competing release: Untitled comedy (Akshay Kumar & Vidya Balan)
While the storyline remains tightly sealed, the initial motion poster successfully establishes an atmosphere of intrigue and a novel interpretation of a timeless philosophy. Additional clues are expected as teasers and the full trailer roll out in the coming weeks.
