Sai Pallavi as IPS Nithya Reddy ‘OM – Chapter 1’

The makers of Om - Chapter 1, Tamil star Dhanush’s upcoming film with director Rajkumar Periasamy, unveiled a special glimpse today (October 26) to introduce actor Sai Pallavi’s character. Also headlined by Malayalam superstar Mammootty, the action thriller is set to release in theatres on November 20.

In the film, which marks Sai’s consecutive outing with director Rajkumar, the actor plays IPS Nithya Reddy, a former Assistant Superintendent of AP Police and the current Additional Superintendent at CBI, who is charged to work with the Interpol. The action-packed glimpse video shows Nithya spearheading the film’s titular mission against sandalwood smuggling, Om, to protect Mother Nature. The glimpse promises a high-octane performance from the ever-impressive Sai Pallavi.

OM – Chapter 1: Udhiram – The Blood Wood also stars Sreeleela in a pivotal role. With music scored by Sai Abhyankkar, the film has cinematography by Ezhil Arasu K and editing by R Kalaivanan. Yannick Ben and Kecha Khamphakdee have choreographed the action. The film is produced by Shraddha Agarwal, Dhanush, and Azmat Jagmag under their Wunderbar Films and RTake Studios banner.

Sai, last seen in the Hindi film Ek Din, will be seen soon as Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s magnum opus, Ramayana: Part 1, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash. The film, which has music by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer, will be released on November 5. Sai’s line-up of films also include ace director Mani Ratnam’s Inji Vellam, co-starring Vijay Sethupathi.
