Working with Mammootty was a dream come true: Sai Pallavi

Chennai, Nov 7 (UNI) Actor Sai Pallavi spoke warmly about her experience of working with Malayalam superstar Mammootty at the audio launch of "Om: Chapter 1 – Udhiram: The Blood Wood", describing it as a special moment in her career.
Pallavi said she had admired Mammootty for years and once could only speak about him as an actor. Getting the chance to work with him has now made that admiration even more special.
She said it felt as though a long-held dream had come true.
Dhanush, Mammootty, Pallavi, Sreeleela, director Rajkumar Periyasamy, producer Shraddha Agarwal and music composer Sai Abhyankar were present at the grand audio launch ceremony of the film. A large number of fans turned up for the event.
The "Ramayan" actress said that despite being over 70 years old, she hasn't seen a more energetic actor on set than Mammootty. He's as enthusiastic as a child and expresses his unique expressions even before the camera is turned on. Working with him was a delightful experience.
Speaking on the occasion, producer Agarwal said that her films produced under the banner of Artek Studios have always had a special connection with Chennai. With "Om," this relationship is being taken to a larger level. This is her biggest film to date.
She described the experience of working with Dhanush as beautiful and praised director Rajkumar Periyasamy's hard work, dedication, and commitment.
Shraddha Aggarwal said that the love and enthusiasm that audiences have shown for the film so far means a lot to her. She hopes this love will only increase once the film hits theatres.
Produced by Agarwal, Dhanush and Azmat Jagmag under the banner of Artek Studios and Wunderbar Films, "Om: Chapter 1 – Udhiram: The Blood Wood" will release in theatres worldwide on November 20, 2026.
