The film also stars Sai Pallavi, Sreeleela, Naseeruddin Shah and Indrans in prominent roles. With its combination of action, emotional storytelling and large-scale production, OM has become one of the anticipated South Indian theatrical releases of November 2026.
Netflix has secured the OTT streaming rights to the film. However, the digital premiere date has not been announced.
OM Operation Mole Official Trailer Released – Dhanush and Mammootty Together
The newly released OM Operation Mole trailer offers a glimpse into an ambitious action drama featuring intense confrontations, emotional moments and interconnected characters.
One of the biggest attractions is the collaboration between Dhanush and Mammootty, whose appearances together have generated considerable interest among Tamil and Malayalam cinema audiences.
The trailer suggests a storyline involving an international smuggling network, complicated relationships and an investigation connected to illegal red sandalwood trafficking.
Director Rajkumar Periasamy has indicated that the film goes beyond the conventions of a typical gangster drama, placing considerable importance on its emotional narrative.
The music composed by Sai Abhyankkar is another notable element of the film’s promotional campaign.
Mammootty as Burma Karthikeyan – A Powerful Character in OM
Mammootty plays Burma Karthikeyan, a significant character associated with an international smuggling network.
The promotional material suggests that Dhanush’s character shares a close connection with Burma Karthikeyan, although the full nature of their relationship remains part of the film’s central mystery.
Rajkumar Periasamy previously revealed that Mammootty was considered for the character during the early stages of the project.
According to the director, Mammootty invited him to his residence in Kochi approximately ten days before filming and spent around two and a half days listening to the complete screenplay.
The actor reportedly examined the dialogues, character development and progression of the story in detail before joining the production.
OM also marks Mammootty’s return to a major Tamil film role after approximately seven years, adding to the excitement surrounding the theatrical release.
Sai Pallavi Plays CBI Officer Nithya Reddy
Sai Pallavi appears as Nithya Reddy, a Central Bureau of Investigation officer investigating a case connected to red sandalwood smuggling.
The character is portrayed as an officer from Andhra Pradesh whose investigation plays an important role in the unfolding narrative.
The filmmakers previously released a special character glimpse introducing Nithya Reddy and her involvement in the case.
Sai Pallavi’s presence adds another important dimension to the film, alongside the characters played by Dhanush and Mammootty.
Sreeleela also plays a prominent role, while Naseeruddin Shah and Indrans are part of the supporting cast.
