Clash Of Titans: Rajinikanth’s Jailor 2 And Dhanush’s OM To Hit Big Screen On Ayudha Pooja

Dhanush and his 55th film, OM Chapter 1 has already raised heartbeats with its powerful teaser. The title OM is astutely inventive yet familiar like a soft blanket, a brand positioning like none other for Hindutva. If your memory drags up another such title Hey Ram, your RAM has super ready access. OM has already garnered marketable gold nuggets in many forms. Following the runaway hit Amaran, its director Rajkumar Periasamy is signed to direct OM. Posting its initial line up of popular stars, Dhanush, Mammootty,  Sai Pallavi and Kayadu Lohar. After the buzz and curiosity of the teaser, a new announcement was dropped …one of India’s most iconic actors, Naseeruddin Shah (if you haven’t, catch the Titan story where he plays JRD Tata’s role) is to join the cast of OM …just 26 years later after Hey Ram. Shah is to partner Mammootty after 32 years after Ponthan Mada. This hugely awaited film is from Dhanush’s own Wunderbar Films, and unravels a plot about illegal Red Sanders felling, the hero taking up the cause of those who fell the precious wood. Ok, we know It harks back to Pushpa 1 and 2. In cinema, imitation is the best form of plottery . But wait …the plot may be reminiscent. It is the release date planned for Ayudha Pooja day — 16th October — that’s caused a huge buzz. Superstar Rajinikanth’s Jailor 2 and Dhanush’s OM are set to clash as gladiators on the same day. Will the Sasur win? Or will the “estranged “ Damaad create family history?
