OM trailer: Dhanush, Mammootty and Sai Pallavi promise a gripping action thriller
The much-awaited trailer of OM (Operation Mole) has finally arrived, with the makers releasing the video shortly before midnight after a delay in the scheduled launch event. Featuring Dhanush, Mammootty and Sai Pallavi, the trailer offers a glimpse into a tense world of crime, police investigations and high-octane action.
One of the biggest talking points is the combination of Dhanush and Mammootty, both of whom appear in striking roles. The film also marks Mammootty’s return to Tamil cinema after a considerable gap, making his appearance particularly significant for fans.
Sai Pallavi plays CBI officer Nithya Reddy, who appears to lead an important investigation under the codename Operation Mole. The trailer introduces her character as a determined officer at the centre of a major operation.
Dhanush, meanwhile, appears as a woodcutter whose life seems to become entangled with the illegal red sandalwood trade. His intense appearance and action sequences suggest that his character has a crucial connection to the central conflict.
Mammootty is presented in a darker avatar, seemingly portraying a powerful individual associated with the criminal network. His screen presence and glimpses of action have already generated considerable interest among viewers.
The trailer opens with the statement, “Some of these things actually happened,” before changing to “Some of these things actually happen.” The wording hints that the film draws inspiration from incidents connected to reality.
Set against the backdrop of two temple towns, the story appears to revolve around a complicated police operation and the criminal activities surrounding the red sandalwood trade. The visuals leave viewers guessing about whether Dhanush’s character has infiltrated Mammootty’s network or is operating alongside him.
The production team announced the trailer with the caption, “The operation begins! Enter the world of O.M – OPERATION MOLE.”
