Popular actor Dhanush is all set to star in KALAM, a new movie about the life of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, India’s beloved “Missile Man” and former President. Directed by Om Raut, known for big films like Tanhaji, this biopic will tell the inspiring story of Dr. Kalam’s journey, and fans are already excited.
A Perfect Casting Choice
Dhanush, a National Award-winning actor known for his versatile performances in films like Asuran, Vada Chennai, and Raayan, is an inspired choice to portray Dr. Kalam. His ability to embody complex characters with depth and authenticity has fans and critics alike excited about his interpretation of the scientist-statesman. Dhanush’s Tamil Nadu roots also add a layer of cultural resonance, as Kalam hailed from the same state. His collaboration with director Om Raut, known for grand cinematic spectacles like Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, raises anticipation for a visually stunning and emotionally gripping portrayal of Dr. Kalam’s life.
This project marks another significant milestone in Dhanush’s career, as he takes on back-to-back biopics. Following his role as music maestro Ilaiyaraaja in an upcoming film, Dhanush’s casting in KALAM underscores his commitment to meaningful, impact-driven cinema.
A Film to Honor a Legend

The movie is being made with the support of the APJ Abdul Kalam International Foundation to ensure that Dr. Kalam’s life is shown authentically and respectfully. The film will trace his remarkable journey, from his humble beginnings in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, to his groundbreaking work as a scientist and his time as the President of India from 2002 to 2007. It will highlight his contributions to India’s space and defense programs, including the development of the Agni and Prithvi missiles and the Pokhran-II nuclear tests.
