New Delhi: Drishyam: The Conclusion was filmed in Goa for nearly 25 days, with the makers returning to several locations closely associated with the Ajay
Devgn-led franchise.
Since the story is set in Goa and follows the Salgaonkar family, one of the most recognisable locations is their home. Noronha’s Bungalow, which featured as the Salgaonkar residence in the previous films, has been retained for the third instalment as well.
