Dhanush’s ‘Om’ Faces Storyline Comparisons with ‘Kingdom’ and ‘Pushpa’

Director Rajkumar Periasamy, who delivered a major success with Amaran, is currently working on Om, starring Dhanush in the lead role. Mammootty and Sai Pallavi are playing important roles in the film, while Sai Abhyankkar is composing the music. The promotional material released recently has raised expectations among moviegoers. However, discussions about the film's storyline have gained momentum, with audiences reportedly predicting some of its major plot points even before its release. According to the circulating storyline, Dhanush enters Mammootty's gang on the instructions of IPS officer Sai Pallavi. After witnessing alleged police irregularities, he reportedly turns against the police and joins hands with Mammootty.

The reported storyline has reminded several netizens of Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom and Allu Arjun's Pushpa. The red sandalwood smuggling backdrop has further fuelled these comparisons. Some viewers feel that revealing too much of the plot in the trailer could affect the film's suspense. They believe the director will need unexpected twists and fresh narrative elements to keep audiences engaged. Whether Rajkumar Periasamy has more surprises in store beyond the promotional material remains to be seen.
