Kochi : The official trailer for O.M – Operation Mole (O.M: Chapter One), one of the most anticipated pan-Indian action thrillers of the year, has officially dropped, promising a gripping collision of powerhouse performances. Directed by Amaran fame Rajkumar Periasamy, the film brings together Dhanush, Mammootty, and Sai Pallavi in a tense forest-set drama centered on illegal red sandalwood smuggling.
What the Trailer Reveals
Set against the dense, rugged terrain stretching between the temple towns of Tirupati and Thiruvannamalai, the trailer introduces a high-stakes covert mission codenamed Operation Mole.
- Sai Pallavi leads the investigation as ASP Nithya Reddy IPS, a determined CBI/police officer tasked with dismantling a ruthless smuggling syndicate.
- Mammootty commands the screen in a menacing, grey-shaded avatar as Burma Karthikeyan alias “Siya,” the powerful mastermind heading the criminal network. His intense entry and screen presence have already sparked massive frenzy among fans online.
- Dhanush appears as a rugged woodcutter caught in the crossfire of the red sandalwood conflict. Hints of an undercover angle—and moments where he appears to clash with law enforcement—leave audiences guessing about his true loyalties.
Star-Studded Cast & Technical Crew
Alongside the lead trio, the film features Sreeleela (as Roja), veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, and Malayalam actor Indrans in pivotal roles. Composed by viral music sensation Sai Abhyankkar, the pulsating background score elevates the trailer’s gritty action blocks.
Produced by Wunderbar Films and RTake Studios, O.M – Operation Mole is planned as the first installment of a two-part franchise. The film is slated for a worldwide theatrical release in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi (alongside strong buzz in Kerala) on November 20, 2026.
