Dhanush’s Om title linked to Upendra’s cult classic? Rajkumar Periasamy reveals the truth

For the unversed, Upendra’s About was a major commercial hit when it released back then. Even now, it has a dedicated fan following among audiences for its story and screenplay. About also holds a Limca record for getting re-released more than 550 times and interestingly featured real-life gangsters playing pivotal roles.

Apart from Dhanush, About also stars Sai Pallavi and Mammootty in important roles. Sreeleela, who made her Tamil debut with a role in Parasakthi (2026), is also part of the cast, as is Indrans.

Besides, About brings Rajkumar Periasamy back together with Sai Pallavi after their collaboration on Warning (2024), where the actor plays Major Mukund’s wife, Indhu Rebecca Varghese. On the other hand, it marks Mammootty’s return to Tamil cinema after 2018’s Peranbuas well as reuniting Dhanush with Sai Pallavi after Possible 2 (2018).

The film is produced by Dhanush himself under the Wunderbar Films banner and Shraddha Agrawal of R Take Studios. On the technical front, it has composer Sai Abhyankkar, cinematographer Ezhil Arasu, editor Kalaivanan, choreographer Sandy, and stunt director Yannick Ben.
