Kollywood Dussehra 2026 may witness intense box office battle with Rajinikanth Jailer 2 and Dhanush OM releasing within a day gap. Jailer 2 directed by Nelson Dilipkumar sequel is announced for October 15. Om directed by Rajkumar Periasamy is locked for October 16 festive season release.

Om stars Dhanush with Mammootty in key role and Sai Pallavi and Sreeleela as heroines. Set for Vijayadashami target, film shooting continues till September with post production pending. Makers earlier announced October 16 date, aligning with Dussehra holidays, but delay rumours suggest possible Diwali shift due to OTT commitments.

Jailer 2 is pan India sequel to blockbuster Jailer, carrying massive expectations. Rajinikanth returns in titular role with Nelson direction promising high voltage action and star cameos. Producer Sun Pictures plans October 15 grand release. Trade expects solo advantage if OM moves, ensuring wider screens and festive collections.

Reports suggest Dhanush team considers moving OM from Dussehra race after learning Jailer 2 date, fearing clash between former father in law and son in law films. However prior OTT deal may compel adherence to October date. Official clarification awaited. Clash or solo outcome remains hot topic.
