Themakers of ace director Mani Ratnam’s eagerly awaited entertainer ‘Inji Vellam’, featuring actors Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi in the lead, on Wednesday announced that the film would hit screens worldwide on January 29 next year.

Taking to its social media timelines, Madras Talkies, the production house of ace director Mani Ratnam and one of the production houses producing the film, wrote, “Save the date. Subaskaran Presents. #InjiVellam from Jan 29th, Worldwide.”

Jointly produced by Lyca Productions and Madras Talkies, the film has music by Oscar winner A R Rahman. In March this year, Madras Talkies had confirmed that A R Rahman was composing music for the film.

The makers had announced the title of the film in September this year, with a cute clip that only had voiceovers. The brief clip featured a conversation between Sai Pallavi and Vijay Sethupathi.

Sai Pallavi says that he (Vijay Sethupathi) is the inji (ginger) and that she is the vellam (jaggery) in the title. She then changes it to she being the inji and he being the vellam.

Eventually, Vijay Sethupathi ends the confusion saying that he is the ginger and she is the jaggery.
