A pre-release event for Rajkumar Periasamy’s OM – Chapter 1: Udhiram – The Blood Wood was held at a college in Chennai on Friday evening. Dhanush , Sai Pallavi and Mammootty attended the event, as did the rest of the film’s team. She even brought up Tamil Nadu chief minister Vijay as an example.
Because of the flags that Dhanush’s fans had brought along, urging him not to quit cinema, while on stage, Sai remarked that the event felt like a political gathering.
Sai, who debuted in Bollywood with Sunil Pandey’s Junaid Khan co-starrer Ek Din this year, most recently starred in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana . Ranbir Kapoor and Yash are her co-stars in the film, where she plays Sita. Apart from the second part of the film, which will be released in 2028, the actor also has Inji Vellam lined up with Mani Ratnam and Vijay Sethupathi.
She then addressed Dhanush and added, “ Whatever you do, sir, I will support you. Just recently, Vijay sir entered politics and stopped acting. Sai was immediately interrupted by deafening roars from the crowd. “I was hoping and praying that Dhanush sir would always remain with us as an actor. But I am so happy to give you the warmth and compassion that you’ve given me through OM. Dhanush has maintained that, for now, his focus remains on films, even telling the event’s host that he looks forward to his next film. He addressed speculation that certain political parties or people were directing him, saying, “There has been a lot of speculation about me. But God is the only one who guides and directs me. My fans are the ones standing behind me, and the people are by my side. He did not specify who the ‘them’ he was referring to were.
At the event, Sai took to the stage and said, “On the way here, I saw so many flags that it almost felt like a political gathering. People have said that I am being directed by someone, that they are by my side.
