Mani Ratnam's 'Inji Vellam' to hit screens on January 29 next year
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 11(IANS) The makers 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 film has cinematography by well known cinematographer Avik Mukhopadhayay and editing by Mani Ratnam's trusted editor Sreekar Prasad. Costumes for the breezy entertainer have been designed by Eka Lakhani. Art direction for the film is being handled by Sharmishta Roy. While the stunts in the film have been choreographed by Dhilip Subbarayan, dances in the film have been choreographed by Brinda Gopal. Make-up is by Ranjith Ambady. 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. It may be recalled that Vijay Sethupathi, in an interview to a media house, had disclosed that he found Mani Ratnam to be very fast and that he had requested the ace director that he would come whenever he got time to read the script along with him and try to understand what it was that the ace filmmaker expected from him for this role. This is not the first time that Vijay Sethupathi is working with Mani Ratnam. The star has already worked with the ace director in his earlier film, 'Chekka Chevantha Vaanam.'

Livingstone, Edwards Trade Signals definite Shift In Thinking At CSK, Says Abhinav Mukund
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bringing in overseas all-rounder Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) via a trade deal marks a clear change in the franchises thinking, said former India batter Abhinav Mukund. He also felt the move fills the need for more power in the middle order for CSK and get an overseas all-rounder in the process. In exchange for bringing in Livingstone and Edwards, CSK traded left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed and right-arm fast bowler Nathan Ellis to SRH. From CSKs point of view, the trade move for Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards feels like a definite shift in thinking. They want more power in the middle order, and they want an overseas all-rounder. Liam Livingstone fulfils that gap, as he can go bang-bang with the bat after the younger Indian players. Plus, he provides them the option of off-spin bowling, which will come in handy when they go up against sides that have a lot of left-handed batters in their playing XI. Jack Edwards, a brilliant young Australian fast-bowling all-rounder, bats with a high strike rate, chips in with useful bowling spells, and hes a mystery for many teams as hes recently burst onto the scene. CSK can use him as their trump card in the next season of the IPL, said Mukund on JioStar. Five-time champions CSK have missed the playoffs in the last two seasons, and they are reshaping their squad before the November 17 retention deadline for IPL 2027 under new head coach Zaheer Khan, as well as Albie Morkel, Gareth Batty and Mohit Sharma joining the coaching staff. Mukund also thought that CSK may still hold on to Australian pacer Spencer Johnson. Also, CSK have a surplus of left-arm seamers, so Khaleel Ahmed moving to SRH need not be a bad thing for CSK, because theyve already got Gurjapneet Singh and Mukesh Choudhary, and it looks like they might end up retaining Spencer Johnson. He also felt the recent trade deal reflected a franchise still working out what it wants to be as a unit, including how it splurged on young players Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma for Rs 14.2 crore each in last years auction. CSK, to me, are a side still struggling to figure out what their correct identity is. They changed their identity from Dads Army to youth because they found success in Ayush Mhatre and Urvil Patel, so they decided to back Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma. But they spent huge amounts to bring them into the squad, and that cost them in the auction and last season as well, because Prashant couldnt perform in the limited number of games. Kartik did well but still couldnt have a major impact in helping them win games. I felt that spending over Rs 28 crores on both of them was a bit of a big gamble. Unfortunately, Prashant Veer, for me, goes back into the auction pool, as CSK will need money to sort out the gaps in their squad, which means Prashant will have to be released, added Mukund. With Livingstone and Edwards joining the overseas group, former India opener Aakash Chopra said settling on the right combination of four foreign players would be one of Zaheers first big tasks, adding that trades matter more than usual ahead of a mini auction. Zaheer Khan is now the man in charge of CSK, and his way of thinking is very different from that of Stephen Fleming, so that combination of four overseas players becomes interesting as well. If Noor Ahmad is not going away and does get retained, he gives CSK a quality left-arm wrist spinner who can pick up wickets in the middle overs. There is also Akeal Hosein who can give them overs with the new ball. So that makes it two foreigners. If Overton is fit, he will be a starter too. Dewald Brevis is obviously there as an investment, and he is an automatic pick in the playing XI. He walks into it directly. Zaheer Khan is now the man in charge of CSK, and his way of thinking is very different from that of Stephen Fleming, so that combination of four overseas players becomes interesting as well.

Ayush Mhatre Not A Tradable Option As Hes CSKs Next Big Thing: Abhinav Mukund
Chennai Super Kings: Former India batter Abhinav Mukund believes five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) should not even consider trading away young batter Ayush Mhatre, saying hes the next big thing for the franchise. He also suggested that the five-time champions explore a trade for Urvil Patel ahead of the November 17 retention deadline for IPL 2027, before the auction happens on December 16 in Goa. Mhatre, who led India to this years U19 World Cup triumph, has undergone surgery for his right hamstring injury after suffering a tear on his return to action in the Ranji Trophy last month. Mhatre is likely to remain on the sidelines for two to three months. Incidentally, Mhatre suffered a left hamstring tear while turning out for CSK in this years IPL and was ruled out of the competition. I feel there is an opportunity for CSK to trade a player like Urvil Patel. CSK already have the likes of Ayush Mhatre, Kartik Sharma, Dewald Brevis and Sarfaraz Khan in their squad, and if all of these batters are fit, then Urvil sadly doesnt find a place in the side. So, if CSK are investing in all of the above batters as their future, then they should trade Urvil Patel. He is someone who will benefit a team which needs top-order firepower and a wicketkeeper, and that could work very well. Ayush Mhatre is not a tradable option. Hes the next big thing for CSK, bats at number three, opens the batting, and gives them an explosive start. Right now, they have too many top-order batters. Everyone wants to bat in the top four, and that is a problem. So why not release Urvil and keep Sarfaraz as your backup? It would give CSK a more settled squad and give Urvil the game time he deserves, Mukund said on JioStar. CSK have missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, and there has been speculation over whether they could part ways with batting all-rounder Shivam Dube. Mukund, however, was firm that the left-handed batter, known to be a spin hitter, should stay in the team. There is a lot of trade talk about Shivam Dube, but I personally would keep him because I feel there is a need for a player of his skillset in this CSK team. He was a key player in their success in 2023 as well and he gives CSK a rare balance of a left-handed batter in the middle order who can take down spin, and on top of that, he can bowl a few overs of medium pace when needed. On slow, turning tracks at Chepauk, his bowling becomes even more useful because he hits the deck and gets the ball to grip. He is also a proven performer in pressure situations, and you need players like him in the squad.

The Asian Athletics Association announced the decision in a statement on Tuesday, saying the award was subject to the presentation of letters of guarantee from the government. Subject to presentation of letters of guarantee from the Govt, Asian Athletics Association is pleased to award the 2029 Asian Athletics Championships to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, the statement read. C.

Speaking from Tokyo after attending the Asian Athletics Federation Council meeting on Tuesday, Latha said Chennais infrastructure and facilities were highlighted during the presentation made by the state. We made our presentation (the online presentation was made by Meghanatha Reddy, Member Secretary of SDAT) and highlighted the legacy of the Nehru Stadium in hosting international meets and the availability of the practice facility at the Nehru B ground.
