Tamil superstar Dhanush has once again grabbed movie lovers' attention with the announcement of his film OM. The film's first glimpse was recently released and is already generating a buzz on social media sites. The visuals, the scale and the title of the movie really give South Indian cinema fans an emotional lift.
The movie OM’s title instantly becomes familiar to movie lovers, particularly those from Kannada cinema, because it is based on the movie’s all-time biggest 1995 blockbuster Om with Shiva Rajkumar (directed by Upendra). The Kannada classic is still one of the most influential movies in Indian cinema and still has a lot of followers well over a decade after it was released.
Now Dhanush’s OM is eagerly awaited by a new generation of audiences and will have a completely different story to tell, one that can be nostalgic and exciting.

Rajkumar Periasamy at the Helm
Rajkumar Periasamy, who directed the film and received much respect for Amaran, is the director. A master storyteller who mixes emotional storytelling with commercial appeal, the director is one of the most adored filmmakers in South Indian cinema these days.
Industry observers believe OM could be one of the biggest projects of his career, with a big picture of the cast and the expectations surrounding the film.
Star-Studded Cast Raises Expectations
Apart from Dhanush, the film has a huge cast of actors. Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is going to play a key role and add much star power to the film. National Award-winning actress Sai Pallavi has also joined the cast, and popular actress Sreeleela is another key actor.

OM is going to become one of the most anticipated South Indian films in its development with a good director, a great cast and a title that is already a talking point.
