Dhanush postpones the theatrical release of his film ‘OM’. The announcement comes after he says the decision is guided by “immense respect” for Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer 2’ and related release planning. Multiple reports describe the change as a move to prevent an overcrowded release window around Diwali.
Earlier, ‘OM’ was expected to arrive around October 16, shortly after ‘Jailer 2’ is scheduled to premiere. The Hindu reports that Suriya’s ‘Scene’ is set to release in theatres on November 6 for Deepavali, and says ‘OM’ will now defer its release until after the festival. Times of India similarly says ‘OM’ will not clash with ‘Scene’ this Diwali, though it notes that the exact new date for ‘OM’ has not been confirmed in its account. Across outlets, the focus remains on coordinated scheduling among major Tamil film releases rather than competing narratives about box office impact.
