Filmmaker Om Raut unveiled his upcoming production, which is a biographical film about the esteemed Indian statesman, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. In this movie, Dhanush will take on the role of bringing the “Missile Man of India” to life on the big screen.

2025’s Cannes Film Festival saw the official unveiling of the upcoming project, with the director sharing a sneak peek on social media immediately afterward. In his post, he revealed the initial glimpse of this exciting new endeavor.

Additionally, online users expressed concerns about the project too, since they were dismayed by the prospect of Om Raut taking charge as its director.

Instead of ruining the narrative, let’s keep it about his personal voyage. Meanwhile, others advised against repeating the mistakes seen in the epic ‘Adipurush’.

Returning to the topic of Dhanush, it’s worth noting that this is his second attempt at a biographical film following his agreement to star in one about the iconic music maestro Ilayaraaja. At present, production on this movie is ongoing, but the creators have yet to provide any additional information regarding its progress.

Regarding Om Raut’s movie, Adipurush, it faced criticism on multiple fronts. People expressed concerns about the script, dialogue, and visual aspects of the film.

Consequently, it was classified as a financial flop at the box office, even though it was produced with a hefty price tag estimated to be anywhere from 500 to 700 crores.

Personally speaking, I can’t contain my excitement as a die-hard fan! On the professional side, Dhanush is gearing up for several upcoming projects that have me absolutely thrilled! Among them are Kuberaa, Idly Kadai, Tere Ishk Mein, and more. Each one promises to be a masterpiece, and I can hardly wait!
