The long-awaited trailer for Dhanush’s upcoming action thriller, O.M – Operation Mole Chapter 1: Udhiram – The Blood Wood, has officially been released, delivering a gripping look into the dangerous world of red sandalwood smuggling.
Dhanush headlines the film as a woodcutter who becomes deeply entangled in a ruthless smuggling syndicate. Standing on the other side of the law is Sai Pallavi, who commands attention as CBI officer Nithya Reddy. Leading the titular “Operation Mole,” her character blends sharp intelligence with youthful determination to dismantle the criminal network.
Adding massive intrigue is Malayalam superstar Mammootty, marking his first-ever on-screen collaboration with Dhanush. Appearing in a commanding, grey-shaded avatar as a powerful politician, Mammootty seems to pull the strings of the illicit trade from the shadows.

The trailer also offers a brief glimpse of veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah in an undisclosed role, alongside Sreeleela, who portrays Dhanush’s wife in a grounded, realistic look.
Written and directed by Rajkumar Periasamy of Amaran fame, the film features music by Sai Abhyankkar and is jointly bankrolled by Wunderbar Films and RTake Studios. Planned as the opener of a two-part franchise, O.M was previously delayed from its October slot to avoid a box-office clash with Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 and Suriya’s Scene. Packed with slick action and powerhouse performances, the film releases in theatres worldwide on November 20, 2026.
