Dhanush in Mass Mode, Mammootty in Command, and Sai Pallavi Unleashed as the High-Stakes Trailer for ‘OM: Chapter 1 – Udhiram: The Blood Wood’ Drops!
Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and featuring music by Sai Abhyankkar, the gritty red sandalwood smuggling action-drama is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on November 20, 2026.
The makers have officially unveiled the high-octane trailer for OM: Chapter 1 – Udhiram: The Blood Wood, offering an extended, adrenaline-fueled glimpse into director Rajkumar Periasamy’s sweeping action-drama. Built on a massive cinematic scale, the trailer sets a dark, intense tone against the backdrop of the illicit red sandalwood syndicate, promising a heavy dose of raw confrontations and high-stakes conflict.
The footage delivers powerful character introductions across the board: Dhanush steps into a rugged, full-throttle mass avatar as D-402, an operative caught deep within the criminal network; Mammootty commands the screen with quiet, commanding authority as “Burma” Karthikeyan (Siya), marking his highly anticipated return to Tamil cinema; Sai Pallavi makes a fierce, striking impression as IPS officer Nithya Reddy; and Sreeleela brings a vibrant, grounded energy as Roja.
Driving the trailer’s frantic momentum is Sai Abhyankkar’s thumping background score, which bridges atmospheric tension with explosive action beats. The visual showcase follows the successful audio rollout of tracks like ‘Alaakaa Loova’, ‘Veezha Veera’, and ‘Senjudare’.
Sharing her enthusiasm for the trailer release, Shraddha Agrawal, producer at RTake Studios, noted, “With the trailer, audiences finally get a sense of the world Rajkumar Sir has created and what OM will feel like on the big screen. It’s been wonderful to see the music connect with listeners around the world, and we hope the trailer builds on that excitement and brings even more people into the world of OM.”
Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, OM: Chapter 1 – Udhiram: The Blood Wood stars Dhanush, Mammootty, Sai Pallavi, Sreeleela, Naseeruddin Shah, and Indrans. Jointly produced by Shraddha Agrawal, Dhanush, and Azmat Jagmag under the banners of RTake Studios and Wunderbar Films, the film opens in cinemas worldwide on November 20, 2026.
