The latest promotional update from the team of ‘O.M’ has sparked a discussion among film audiences. While the newly released poster generated excitement around the film, the absence of Malayalam superstar Mammootty‘s name caught the attention of his fans. Several social media users questioned the makers’ decision and expressed disappointment over how the veteran actor was presented in the promotional material. While some criticised the team, others urged the makers to give the legendary actor the recognition he deserves.Following the poster’s release, Mammootty’s fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their concerns. One fan wrote, “As a Mammukka fan, I am disappointed with two things: the order of videos on YouTube and how he is shown in today’s poster. I’m happy with all the other updates.”Another fan directly questioned the production team, writing, “You have such a big actor like Mammootty in the film. Why is his name not on the poster? Please give him his due credit. It feels like disrespecting a legend by avoiding his name on the poster.”The discussion continued as more fans questioned the promotional strategy and called for equal recognition for all prominent cast members.
Fans defend ‘O.M’ makers
However, not everyone believes the missing name is a reason for concern. Another section of fans urged others to wait until the film’s release before judging the makers’ decision. One social media user suggested that Mammootty could receive a special credit in the film’s title cards, possibly appearing before Dhanush‘s name.Drawing a comparison with AR Rahman’s credit in Dhanush’s ‘Raayan’, the fan wrote, “Poster la potu ena aaga poguthu… movie la Dhanush title ku munadiye poduvaru… like ARR name in Raayan. Wait and watch.”This added another dimension to the online discussion, with some fans suggesting that the poster may not necessarily reflect the actors’ billing or prominence in the film.
