Actor Dhanush postponed the release of his film 'Om' to avoid a box office clash with Rajinikanth's 'Jailer 2', out of immense respect for the superstar who announced his release date first.
The action drama 'Om', directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and starring Dhanush alongside Mammootty, Sai Pallavi, and Sreeleela, was originally scheduled to release worldwide on October 16, 2026.
Dhanush noted that 'Om' would not be arriving for Diwali this year either, because Suriya's film has already been announced for the same festive release date.
