The makers of the upcoming multilingual film “OM” announced the biggest addition to the cast with the veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah joining them. Wunderbar Films also stated that the much-anticipated movie will be released across the world on October 16th, 2026. Rajkumar Periyasamy will lead the film with Dhanush, Mammootty, Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela as the leads.

Naseeruddin Shah’s addition has also raised the level of interest in the project. Shah is one of India’s most celebrated actors and has played in Hindi, international and regional cinema for over 30 years. The addition of him to the cast will give the movie a great depth and weight but the filmmakers are not sharing details about who he is.

'OM' is going to be one of the biggest multilingual releases in 2026. Dhanush and Mammootty are leading the cast in addition to Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela so the film brings actors from various film industries together for a truly pan-Indian film. The combination of established actors and young talent has already generated much interest in the movie world.

Rajkumar Periyasamy is the director of the film, known for his storytelling and visual effects. He is currently working with Dhanush and fans are eager to see the two together on the big screen.

The film's music is also being composed by Sai Abhyankkar. The young composer has a vast repertoire of music and is extremely popular with viewers, and the music and background score will help make the film cohesive.

Wunderbar Films also confirmed the release date of ‘OM’ in cinemas worldwide on October 16, 2026, and confirmed Naseeruddin Shah's casting, signaling confidence in the development of the project as well. One of the most anticipated multilingual films of the year, 'OM' will see a broad theatrical release in a variety of languages on the international market as well as at home and abroad.

The filmmakers have kept the story locked down but the cast announcement indicates that ‘OM’ is a big movie with high production values and a strong emphasis on storytelling. The audience will now be waiting for the first teaser, trailer, character posters, and the music to be released in the coming months, which will all be part of what the movie’s world will be like.

Naseeruddin Shah adds another star to this already big cast and will make 'OM' one of the most eagerly awaited Indian movies of 2026. A very strong cast, a director with a great history of making movies, fantastic music, and a confirmed release date can only make it even more popular.
