Whose Spirit Sought Revenge in Pizza 3 The Mummy?
The spirit that haunts everyone at the restaurant and also seeks revenge is that of a young girl named Mithra (Abi Natchatra) who was killed by four perpetrators who physically abused her after she was diagnosed with short-term memory loss following an accident. Through Nalan, she avenges her and her mother Rani’s death which happened at the hands of these individuals. One of her prime targets is Viswanathan (Kavitha Bharathi).
How is Mithra Connected to Nalan?
When the story begins, it feels like Nalan would have a connection to the ghost and whether he played a part in killing her although the back story of Mithra reveals that it was due to a ball hit by Nalan while playing Cricket that she suffers a brain injury which causes her to lose her memory. However, she does not hold him responsible for it. It is also revealed in the end that the revenge is actually sought by Mithra’s mother’s spirit since the girl herself suffered from memory loss.
Who Kills Vishwanathan?
The last sequence of the film showcases Vishwanathan trying to get rid of the spirit by seeking help from a ghost hunter. In the meantime, Nalan teams up with Kayal and Prem to catch him. After getting caught by the three in a dilapidated place, there’s a fight that breaks out and while Prem tries to arrest Vishwanathan, the latter holds him in a tight grasp and tries to throttle him. A gun then appears at Mithra’s feet. Soon we see her pointing her fingers in the shape of a gun at Vishwanathan while the real gun is being held by Nalan. He then shoots and kills him.
The spirits of both Mithra and her mother appear after Vishwanathan is killed. After Nalan asks for forgiveness from them, Mithra forgives him and both spirits disappear into the night sky. In the last scene, the owner of the Mummy statue appears at Nalan’s restaurant and he hands it over to him.
Pizza 3: The Mummy is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

So is it Nalan who killed viswanathan or was he under the influence of the spirit? I assume it was Nalan since the girl can’t remember and the mother’s skull was being burnt away.
It’s ambiguous
If nalan was then he would die earlier as mother and daughter already in his restaurant
