Suriya thanks Dhanush for avoiding a clash with Scene

Speaking at the audio and trailer launch event of Scene, Suriya expressed his appreciation to Dhanush for changing the release schedule of his upcoming film OM: Chapter 1.

Dhanush had initially postponed OM: Chapter 1 from October 16, 2026, to avoid clashing with Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2. The actor later announced another change to the film’s release plans to prevent it from competing with Suriya’s Scene during the Diwali festive season.

At the event, Suriya also asked his fans whether he should continue using the title ‘The One’, which he has been associated with since Karthik Subbaraj’s Retro. He wanted to know if audiences would like him to retain the moniker.

Following an enthusiastic response from the crowd, the actor agreed to continue using the title. Suriya also described Scene as a fresh cinematic experience featuring mystery, madness and laughter. He encouraged audiences to watch the film with an open mind and a cheerful attitude, calling it a beautiful Diwali entertainer.

More about Scene and OM: Chapter 1

Scene revolves around Inbaraj, an officer recognised for his exceptional investigative abilities but equally known for his unruly and bratty behaviour. Despite being at the height of his career, he quits the police force and sets out to track down his arch-enemy, Eeswaran, independently.

During his pursuit, Inbaraj joins forces with an unconventional group of individuals, including Maya, who is also his love interest. The film follows the officer and his quirky team as they take on Eeswaran through an unusual investigation filled with action and humour.

Apart from Suriya, the film features Nazriya Nazim Fahadh and Naslen in prominent roles. Anandraj, Lal, Raj Priyan and several others are also part of the cast.

Meanwhile, OM: Chapter 1 is an upcoming action thriller centred on an operation against the illegal trade of red sandalwood. The film stars Dhanush and Mammootty in the lead roles, with Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela playing important characters.
