Dhanush is back with an intense action drama. The trailer of his upcoming film ‘OM: Chapter 1’ has finally been released. The film also features Mammootty, Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela in important roles. Rajkumar Periasamy is directing this movie. The film is scheduled to release on November 20.
The trailer gives a glimpse of a story set against the backdrop of red sandalwood smuggling. The story appears to take place around the Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh border. It shows the dangerous world of the red sandalwood mafia.
Dhanush plays Karthikeyan who is a task force police officer who enters a smuggling gang in disguise. His mission is to catch an international smuggler named Siya. Mammootty plays this powerful character. However things take an unexpected turn after Dhanush joins the gang. He slowly appears to become part of the smuggling network and even seems ready to fight against the police to protect his men.
This raises several questions. Is Dhanush really changing sides? Is he betraying the police department? Or is there a bigger plan behind his actions? The trailer does not reveal the complete story. It keeps these questions open and creates curiosity.
Sai Pallavi plays Nithya Reddy. She is an IPS officer from Naidupeta in Andhra Pradesh. She is given a special responsibility to stop red sandalwood smuggling in the forests. She starts a secret mission called Operation Mole. Her target appears to be the dangerous smuggling network. The interesting part is that Dhanush and Sai Pallavi seem to be on opposite sides of this mission.
Sreeleela plays Dhanush’s wife Roja. Her character also appears to be important to the story. Meanwhile Renu Desai makes a surprise appearance in the trailer. Her presence is one of the unexpected highlights. Audiences will also get to see Naseeruddin Shah, Indrans and Sanjay Swaroop in important roles.
The trailer stands out with its action scenes, forest visuals and powerful background music. Sai Abhyankkar has composed the music. The cinematography and editing also add to the intense mood.
The film is produced by Dhanush, Shraddha Agarwal and Azmat Jagmag under Wunderbar Films and R Take Studios. It will release in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada on November 20.
