OM Chapter 1: Sai Pallavi takes charge as Nithya Reddy
A 1-minute-and-42-second glimpse from OM: Chapter 1 introduces Sai Pallavi as Nithya Reddy, a fearless officer who follows in her father’s footsteps. Assigned to crack down on the illegal trade of precious sandalwood, she names the mission Operation OM as she sets out to safeguard nature and protect its resources.
OM Chapter 1: Udhiram – The Blood Wood is an action drama led by Dhanush. Alongside Mammootty and Sai Pallavi, the film features Sreeleela and Naseeruddin Shah in important roles. Sai Abhyankkar has composed the film’s songs and background score. The project is envisioned as the first instalment in a two-part franchise.
The film was initially expected to release in October, but Dhanush officially confirmed its postponement. According to the actor-producer, the decision was taken to avoid a box-office clash with Jailer 2 and Suriya’s Scene, which is scheduled to hit theatres on November 6, 2026.
Dhanush and Sai Pallavi’s upcoming projects
Dhanush is preparing to team up with director Tamizharasan Pachamuthu for an action entertainer tentatively titled D56. The film is expected to present the actor in an intense role and is reportedly planned for a summer 2027 release. Preity Mukundhan will play the female lead, while Vadivelu and SJ Suryah are set to appear in key roles.
The actor has also announced Thamizh Murugan, a project directed by Vetrimaaran. Additionally, reports indicate that Dhanush could reunite with filmmaker Siva for another action film.
Meanwhile, Sai Pallavi will portray Sita in the mythological epic Ramayana: Part 1, which stars Ranbir Kapoor and Yash. Produced by Namit Malhotra and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film is slated for a Diwali release on November 5, 2026. Ranbir will play Lord Rama, while Yash will portray King Ravana.
Beyond Ramayana, Sai Pallavi also has Inji Vellam in her upcoming lineup. The film co-stars Vijay Sethupathi and is directed by Mani Ratnam.
