Dhanush's 'Om' Targets October Release Amid Clash with Rajinikanth's 'Jailer 2

Tamil‑language action entertainer ‘Om’, starring Dhanush and directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, is scheduled to open on 16 October. Malayalam superstar Mammootty has finished shooting his scenes for the film, which also features Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela. The production is backed by Wunderbar Films and Dawn Pictures and includes music by G.V. Prakash Kumar.

Industry observers note that the release will coincide with the debut of Rajinikanth’s sequel ‘Jailer 2’, slated for 15 October, creating a high‑profile box‑office clash during the festive season. Both films target the same Tamil‑speaking audience, and analysts will watch whether the schedules remain as announced or if one side adjusts its date.

The clash is being framed as a showdown of star power between Dhanush and Rajinikanth, with ‘Om’ positioned as a large‑budget, mass‑appeal project that could set the tone for the upcoming holiday weekend.
