O.M trailer in Telugu: Dhanush-Mammootty film set between two temple towns

Sithara Entertainments released the O.M trailer in Telugu on Saturday, 14 November, six days before the Dhanush-Mammootty film reaches theatres. The cut, 3 minutes and 3 seconds long, went up on the banner’s YouTube channel at 12.44 pm IST, 12 minutes after the music label Divo Music posted the same video.

The Tamil original had come first. Divo Music put it out on Friday, 13 November, at 11.24 pm IST; by Saturday afternoon it had crossed 1.7 crore views. The Telugu version arrived roughly 13 hours later. The notes under both videos name the film O.M – Operation Mole and give a worldwide theatrical release on Friday, 20 November.

Set between two temple towns

The trailer begins with an aerial view of wooded hills and a line on screen: “Some of these things actually happened.” A later card says the story is set between two temple towns, though neither is named.

What follows cuts between a forest after dark, a police meeting, a wedding, a line of lorries at night and a packed fairground under fireworks. Dhanush is seen levelling a pistol, while Mammootty stands at a podium microphone with his arms raised. Sai Pallavi appears in a police officer’s khaki uniform, and Sreeleela also features.

Rajkumar Periasamy wrote and directed O.M. Sai Abhyankkar composed the music. Shraddha Agrawal, Dhanush and Azmat Jagmag are credited as producers, and the logos of R Take Studios and Wunderbar Films appear early in the trailer.

Three films on one Friday

Sithara is distributing the film in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. O.M will share its opening day with two other films. Dulquer Salmaan’s Aakasamlo Oka Tara is also due on 20 November, and so is the Telugu version of Sathyavan Savithiri, a courtroom drama with Keerthy Suresh and Mysskin in the lead, whose Telugu trailer came out on Thursday, 12 November.
