In September, the makers released the first-look poster of the film which instantly grabbed the attention with Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi sharing an affectionate embrace, hinting at a romance at the heart of the story.
The filmmakers have chosen to keep the plot and details about the rest of the cast closely guarded for now. The film reunites acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam with Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman, marking yet another collaboration between the celebrated duo, with Rahman taking charge of the music.
'Inji Vellam' has cinematography by Avik Mukhopadhayay, while Sreekar Prasad is handling the editing. It is currently scheduled for a theatrical release in January 2027.
Meanwhile, Vijay Sethupathi began this year with the film 'Gandhi Talks'. He also has a slate of upcoming films, including 'Train' and 'Slum Dog: 33 Temple Road'.
Sai Pallavi, who was last seen in the 2025 film Thandel, is also juggling multiple high-profile projects. She made her Bollywood debut with Ek Din and was last seen in Ramayana: Part 1 and 2.
Mani Ratnam's previous directorial venture, Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR, released on June 5, 2025. Despite high expectations, the gangster action drama underperformed at the box office and is currently streaming on Netflix. (ANI)
