Dubai: The trailer of Dhanush's upcoming action thriller 'Om: Chapter 1, Udhiram: The Blood Wood' has been unveiled, offering a glimpse into a dangerous world of red sandalwood smuggling, undercover operations and powerful criminal networks.
Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, the film features Dhanush as a Tamil Nadu Special Task Force officer who goes undercover to infiltrate an illegal red sandalwood smuggling syndicate in Andhra Pradesh. Sai Pallavi plays an IPS officer leading the operation, while Mammootty appears as a mysterious figure believed to be controlling the illegal trade from behind the scenes.
Set in the Seshachalam forest region of Andhra Pradesh, the story revolves around a joint operation by the police forces of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu to dismantle the smuggling network.
Dhanush plays an officer from Tamil Nadu's Organised Crime Intelligence Unit who enters the syndicate disguised as a woodcutter. The trailer shows him working alongside smugglers, navigating the forest and gradually gaining their confidence.
However, several sequences suggest that his undercover mission could take unexpected turns. In some scenes, his character appears to be fighting against the police, leaving questions about his position within the operation.
Sai Pallavi portrays IPS officer Nithya Reddy, who heads the Exclusive Special Task Force in Andhra Pradesh.
