# Sai Pallavi recalls ‘Rowdy Baby Akka’ at OM audio launch 2026-11-07T07:22:01+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Sai Pallavi attended the audio launch of the action thriller OM at Sairam Engineering College in Chennai on 6 November, a day after the release of Ramayana: Part 1. She recalled being called ‘Rowdy Baby Akka’ by children after her song Rowdy Baby with Dhanush from Maari 2. She said she had hoped to share screen space with him again and called OM a ‘totally different space’. Praising director Rajkumar Periasamy, she said he wrote her cop character with ‘lots of layers’ and is ‘every actress’s dream director’. She also praised co-star Mammootty, saying the 70-plus actor is ‘like a child’ on set. OM, produced by Wunderbar Films and RTake Studios, was made on a budget of Rs 200 crore, according to 123telugu. The film also stars Dhanush, Mammootty, Sreeleela, Naseeruddin Shah and Indrans, and is set for theatrical release on 20 November. Update, 7 November 2026: Cinema Express now reports that Sai Pallavi said she ‘manifested’ working with Mammootty after hearing his name on the set of her previous film Amaran. The outlet also names composer Sai Abhyankkar and producer Shraddha Agarwal. The release date and budget remain unchanged. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Coverage of the OM audio launch across all three outlets is uniform straight reporting.
