In a film titled “Kalam,” Dhanush is set to depict the life and accomplishments of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, India’s Missile Man, which was officially announced at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. The movie will be helmed by Om Raut, who gained fame with “Adipurush.
Om Raut reveals why Dhanush was picked to play the role
Recently, filmmaker Om Raut explained his reasoning behind casting Dhanush as the ideal actor to bring Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s character to life in a movie.
It’s crucial to thoroughly portray a biography about such an outstanding leader, as simply depicting his life and accomplishments isn’t sufficient. Instead, it’s important to equally highlight his vision, personal growth, and the wisdom he imparted.
Later, Om pointed out that Dhanush was an ideal choice because he could convincingly portray an intelligent demeanor on-screen.
According to him, “I believe there was no other suitable actor like Dhanush to portray the deep spiritual and intellectual essence of our project so beautifully on-screen. He is an ideal choice, and I, along with my entire team, are grateful that he decided to join us in this significant venture.
Om Raut reveals being deeply inspired by APJ Kalam
As a devoted admirer, I can trace the genesis of this ambitious project back to my own heart, for I’ve consistently been inspired by the visionary leadership that fuels me. – Om Raut’s perspective
