Director Om Raut will bring a biopic of former President and scientist Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam after Adipurush, made in a budget of 700 crores. The name of his upcoming film will be Kalam the Missile Man of India. At the same time, the lead role will be two-time National Award-winning South superstar actor Dhanush, who is also known for his strong performance. This will be Om Raut’s first venture after Adipurush proved to be a box office failure in 2023. He shared the first title poster of his upcoming film at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, which is going viral on social media.

Om Raut also shared the poster on Instagram and wrote, From Rameswaram to Rashtrapati Bhavan, the journey of a legend begins… The Missile Man of India is coming to the silver screen. Dream big. Rise high. #KALAM The Missile Man Of India. The poster shows a missile with a blue and black theme. It is also said that Dhanush will be seen as Kalam. While Om Raut will direct the film, it will be produced by Abhishek Agarwal, Bhushan Kumar, Krishna Kumar, and Anil Sunkara.

After sharing this poster, the reaction of the fans is coming out. While the fans are very excited about Dhanush being a part of this film, the fans are seen encouraging Om Raut by wishing him all the best for this film. Dhanush himself also shared the poster of this film and wrote, “I feel truly blessed and very humbled to portray the life of such an inspiring and generous leader – our own Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Sir.”
