Arjun Rampal to Star in Abbas-Mustan's '3 Monkeys' This December
Abbas-Mustan return with Arjun Rampal in 3 Monkeys. Get details on the release date, the new-age trio Amar, Akbar, and Anthony, and the motion poster.
The wait for suspense enthusiasts is almost over as the legendary director duo Abbas-Mustan prepares to return to the big screen. The makers have officially announced that Arjun Rampal will headline their upcoming project, '3 Monkeys', which is set to hit cinemas worldwide on December 4, 2026.
The announcement came alongside the unveiling of the film's gripping motion poster, which cleverly plays with the concept of the iconic Three Wise Monkeys before pivoting to a much more modern and unpredictable trio.
A New-Age Trio: Amar, Akbar, and Anthony
While the title evokes the traditional wisdom of the Three Wise Monkeys, the film introduces a gritty, contemporary version of these characters. The central trio consists of:
- Vishal Jethwa as Amar
- Mustafa Burmawala as Akbar
- Tenzin Dalha as Anthony
These characters represent a "new-age" version of the classic names, bringing a different energy to the Abbas-Mustan cinematic universe.
The 'Sab Dekho' Attitude
Discussing the dynamic between the three leads, directors Abbas and Mustan hinted at a rebellious and fearless spirit driving the plot. They described the trio as possessing a distinct philosophy: "Sab Dekho. Apni Suno. Bekhauf Bolo" (See everything. Listen to yourself. Speak without fear).
The directors noted that while the characters appear mischievous and seem to thrive even in dangerous circumstances, viewers should remain cautious. "They are mischievous, unpredictable and they seem to be enjoying what they are doing, even when the situation is dangerous. But with an Abbas–Mustan film, what you see is not necessarily the whole truth," the duo added, teasing the signature twists and turns their films are known for.

'3 Monkeys' is presented by AJ Film Entertainment World. The film is produced by Allarakha Vohra, Faruk Vohra, and Sayeed Vohra, with Anand Tiwari serving as the Associate Producer. Fans of high-stakes drama and suspense can mark their calendars for the global theatrical release on December 4, 2026.
