Dhanush's Film O.M. Gets New Title for Release

Dhanush's 55th film, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, has been renamed 'O.M Operation Mole' just ahead of its upcoming release. The movie was originally titled 'OM - Chapter 1: Udhiram - The Blood Wood' but underwent the change, reportedly to address censor board concerns. The new title is believed to better align with the film's central plot involving a secret operation.

The action thriller features a prominent cast including Mammootty, Sai Pallavi, Sreeleela, and Naseeruddin Shah. Produced by Wunderbar Films and R Take Studios, the film is slated for theatrical debut on November 20, 2026. Its promotional campaign has adopted a new direction following the title revision.

The recently released trailer offers a glimpse into an undercover mission and a smuggling network, hinting at intense conflicts with law enforcement. Rumors suggest Dhanush plays an undercover agent, Mammootty heads a smuggling organization, and Sai Pallavi portrays an IPS Officer. The trailer's impressive visuals, background music, and star performances have generated considerable buzz among fans, with celebrations observed in Chennai.
