Dhanush announces that he is postponing the release of his film *Om: Chapter 1*. He says the decision is intended to prevent a clash with other major releases, noting that the schedules of competing films are announced first.

NDTV reports that Dhanush specifically indicates the timing would otherwise overlap with releases involving Rajinikanth and Suriya. He also confirms that *Om: Chapter 1* will not release during the Diwali period this year. The outlets’ coverage centers on the scheduling change and the stated rationale—avoiding competition for audience attention during peak festival and release windows—rather than on any changes to the film’s content.

With the release date pushed back, the focus shifts to when *Om: Chapter 1* will return to theaters, though the provided reports do not specify a new target date.
