West Bengal nurse attacked by husband in Bengaluru had complained to police earlier; remains in ICU
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 18 (IANS) Madhumita, a young nurse who was attacked by her husband Venkateshan near the hospital where she worked in Bengaluru, continues to receive treatment in the ICU of a private hospital in the city and her condition still remains critical, police said on Friday. It has emerged that she had complained to the police earlier about his behaviour and the cops had contacted Venkateshan and directed him to appear for questioning. According to the police, Venkateshan allegedly chased Madhumita near the hospital on Thursday, threw an acid-like liquid at her and subsequently attacked her with deadly weapons more than 10 times in full public view. Police said Madhumita and Venkateshan had met through a dating app and got married in 2024 before settling in Bengaluru. However, Madhumita had reportedly been maintaining a distance from her husband for the past six months. According to the investigation, Venkateshan secured a job with an oil company in Chennai and moved there. He had repeatedly insisted that Madhumita accompany him, but she refused to move to Chennai. Madhumita had allegedly told Venkateshan not to touch her and said that she had started disliking him. She also reportedly avoided his calls, leading to frequent arguments between the couple. About six months ago, Venkateshan allegedly came near the clinic where Madhumita worked and created a ruckus following an argument with her. The clinic staff intervened, reprimanded him and sent him away. Following the incident, Madhumita lodged a complaint with a police station in Bengaluru. Police subsequently contacted Venkateshan and directed him to appear for questioning. However, Venkateshan allegedly failed to appear before the police and instead continued to threaten Madhumita over the phone, according to the police. On Thursday, he allegedly came near the hospital carrying an acid-like liquid and deadly weapons and waited for Madhumita. When she arrived, he allegedly chased and attacked her. The incident took place in public view and left Madhumita seriously injured. She was shifted to a private hospital, where she continues to undergo treatment in the ICU. Venkateshan has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody. Police are continuing their investigation into the attack and the circumstances leading up to it. DCP South, Dr. Vamshi Krishna, who visited the spot, had said the accused Venkateshan, allegedly attacked Madhumita with a machete and a long knife after throwing a liquid suspected to be acid, on her. The incident took place around 9.15 a.m. near Narayana Hospital, where Madhumita works as a nurse. According to the DCP, the accused wore a helmet during the assault and used two deadly weapons in the attack. The accused has used a liquid similar to acid and assaulted the woman with a machete and a long knife. The couple are husband and wife, and the incident is suspected to have taken place against the backdrop of a family dispute, Dr. Vamshi Krishna said. Police said Venkateshan has been arrested and is being questioned.

Puducherry LG suggests tax holiday, cheap power to boost industrialisation in J&K
Puducherry, Sep 17: Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry K Kailashnathan has suggested a set of measures for improving the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) in Jammu and Kashmir, saying tax holidays and affordable power could act as catalysts for attracting industries and investment to the Union Territory. Interacting with this Greater Kashmir Correspondent, Kailashnathan said attracting investment and promoting industrialisation were essential for generating employment and ensuring sustained economic growth. Referring to the geographical and infrastructural challenges faced by Jammu and Kashmir, he said the UT Government should focus on four key areasinfrastructure, connectivity, affordable power and tax holidaysto create a conducive environment for industrial development. First, you need the prerequisite infrastructure for industries, followed by good connectivity, Kailashnathan said, stressing the importance of railway links and highways for timely movement of raw materials and finished products. He also underlined the importance of affordable electricity for industries and hotels, saying Jammu and Kashmir has significant hydropower potential. He suggested that the government could explore providing locally generated power to industrial units at competitive rates, including a tariff of around Rs 2 per unit, to encourage investment. On fiscal incentives, Kailashnathan suggested that Jammu and Kashmir could consider tax holidays for new investments, pointing out that several States and Union Territories had adopted such measures to attract industries and promote industrialisation. A 1979-batch retired IAS officer, Kailashnathan served in Gujarat for more than four decades and worked closely with Narendra Modi during his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister. He was associated with various government initiatives related to industrialisation and investment promotion, including investment summits held in Gujarat. Speaking about Puducherry's development trajectory, Kailashnathan said the Union Territory was progressing towards becoming a major medical and tourism hub. He said an advanced organ-transplantation centre was being established in Puducherry, which, according to him, would benefit patients from across the country. Kailashnathan also described Puducherry as an emerging education hub, saying around 73 per cent of students enrolled in schools pursue higher studies. He said the focus now was on creating employment opportunities for the educated population and added that more than 4,000 people were recruited last year. He identified safe drinking water as another challenge, saying a significant section of the population was dependent on groundwater with high TDS levels. He said the administration was working to ensure filtered and safe surface drinking water for all residents within the next three years. On connectivity, the LG said an airport with a 2,500-metre runway was being developed and a new railway terminal was also under construction. He further said two six-lane highways between Chennai and Puducherry were being constructed, which would substantially improve road connectivity and reduce travel time between the two destinations. He said Puducherry's development strategy was aimed at strengthening infrastructure, healthcare, education, connectivity and employment while positioning the Union Territory as a prominent tourism and medical destination.
Vande Bharat trains in J&K equipped with special heating, defogging systems: ICF Chennai Engineer
Vande Bharat trains operating in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in the Kashmir Valley, have been equipped with special features to cope with the regions extreme winter conditions, including sub-zero temperatures and dense fog. Interacting with a group of Kashmir-based journalists visiting Chennai under a PIB tour, Anupam Chouhan, Chief Workshop Engineer, LHP Division, Integral Coach Factory (ICF), said trains operating in challenging climatic conditions require specialised features to ensure smooth and safe operations. Elaborating on the Vande Bharat trains deployed in Kashmir, Chouhan said a special heating arrangement has been provided along the water-pipe network. The system is designed to prevent water from freezing in the pipelines during sub-zero temperatures and ensure uninterrupted water supply for lavatories and other facilities inside the train. He said another important feature incorporated in the Kashmir-specific Vande Bharat trains is a strong defogging system. Dense fog and condensation can affect visibility through the front and rear panes, particularly for the locomotive pilot. To ensure clear visibility and an unobstructed line of sight, strong defoggers have been provided in trains operating in Kashmir, Chouhan said. The specialised systems are part of efforts to adapt modern railway services to the demanding climatic conditions of Jammu and Kashmir, where severe winters pose operational challenges for railway infrastructure and rolling stock. He points out that the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, one of the three major coach manufacturing facilities of the Indian Railways, is marching ahead with increased production and a gradual shift towards manufacturing Vande Bharat coaches. The oldest and largest coach manufacturing facility in the country, ICF was inaugurated on October 2, 1955, by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Since its inception, the factory has rolled out more than 80,000 coaches, making it one of the world's largest single-site coach manufacturing facilities. The Chennai-based factory employs around 8,500 personnel from the government sector and nearly 6,000 workers from the private sector for various manufacturing and allied activities. ICF produced around 3,500 coaches during the last financial year, while the production target for the current year has been fixed at 3,865 coaches. Chief Workshop Engineer, LHP, Integral Coach Factory, Chennai, Anupam Chouhan said the facility was moving ahead with the changing requirements of Indian Railways, particularly with a focus on enhancing Vande Bharat coach production. He said work was underway for manufacturing four Vande Bharat chair-car train sets and four Vande Bharat sleeper train sets in the near future. Besides, one Vande Bharat freight train has already been rolled out and is currently undergoing trials, while another such train is under manufacturing. The shift towards Vande Bharat coaches comes amid the Railways' stated plan to gradually replace older conventional train coaches with newer-generation rolling stock. The move is aimed at modernising passenger services and facilitating faster train movement across the country. Chouhan also said that the facility is catering to the needs of the entire country and different sectors.

TN: Five-cornered contests to take place in Madurantakam, Dharapuram bypolls
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 17 (IANS) A five-cornered electoral battle is taking shape in bypolls to Tamil Nadu's Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly constituencies after the nominations of candidates fielded by the ruling TVK, the DMK, the AIADMK, the Naam Tamilar Katchi, and the Left parties were accepted during scrutiny on Thursday. The bypolls in Madurantakam (SC) constituency in Chengalpattu district and Dharapuram (SC) constituency in Tiruppur district have attracted considerable political attention, with the major parties choosing to contest separately. A total of 99 nomination papers were filed for the two constituencies before the deadline ended at 3 p.m. on Wednesday. The submissions included papers filed by official candidates, substitute nominees, and Independents. Election officials scrutinised the nomination papers on Thursday to verify whether the candidates had complied with the statutory requirements. Following the scrutiny, nominations submitted by the principal contestants in both constituencies were declared valid. In Madurantakam, the nomination papers of TVK candidate Maragatham Kumaravel, DMK nominee Paranthaman, AIADMK candidate Kanitha Sampath, Naam Tamilar Katchi nominee Janakiraman, and Communist Party of India-Marxist candidate Suganthi were accepted. Of the 48 nomination papers filed in the constituency, election officials accepted 32 and rejected 16. The rejected papers reportedly failed to meet one or more of the mandatory requirements prescribed under the election rules. In Dharapuram, the nominations of TVK candidate Sathyabama, DMK nominee Suganya, AIADMK candidate Bhanumathi, Naam Tamilar Katchi nominee Karthika and Communist Party of India candidate Lakshmanan were found to be valid. Officials scrutinised 51 nomination papers filed in Dharapuram. Of these, 22 were accepted, while 29 were rejected for failing to fulfil the required conditions. The final number of candidates contesting the two bypolls will become clear after the deadline for withdrawing nominations. Candidates whose papers have been accepted will be permitted to withdraw from the contest within the period stipulated by the Election Commission. With the ruling party, the two major Dravidian parties, Naam Tamilar Katchi, and the Left fielding separate candidates, the bypolls are expected to witness an intense campaign. The results will also be viewed as an important test of the respective parties electoral strength and organisational reach ahead of future political contests in Tamil Nadu.
Chennai should not alienate Delhi, and vice versa too, Justice Nagarathna, heading a Bench comprising Justice A.G. Masih, addressed both governments
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 17 (IANS) The makers of director R Kaarthikeyan's eagerly awaited upcoming romantic action entertainer titled 'Anbil Avan', featuring actors Ashok Selvan and Preity Mukhundan in the lead, on Thursday released a gripping trailer of the film, much to the delight of fans and film buffs. Taking to its social media timelines to share the link to the trailer, Ayngaran International, the production house presenting the film, wrote, Their romance was only one side of their story. #AnbilAvan - TRAILER OUT NOW! In theatres from September 25. Starring @ashokselvan @preity_mukhundhan. Directed by @karti.kane. A #GovindVasantha Musical. The trailer begins with Ashok Selvan's character explaining about himself and his wife to Revathy. My wife's name is Iyal, he begins and explains that his wife (played by Preity Mukhundhan), who hailed from a rich family, gave up everything for his sake when he had nothing. The trailer then shows both Ashok Selvan's character and his wife Iyal working in a star hotel. Both husband and wife are subjected to constant supervision and taunts. At one point, Ashok Selvan's character says he wants to give the life he promised to Iyal. The couple get married and move to a hill station. It is then that life throws a different kind of challenge. A very disturbing incident occurs when Iyal is alone at home. We then see a number of shady characters who make statements regarding this incident. One man, who seems like a politician, is seen saying, That night something happened. I too am remorseful that it happened. Another shady looking character says, You have come to my town and now, it is a problem concerning my home. Meanwhile, the couple seem to be in a state of perpetual fear. We see a series of grim action sequences in the trailer. The police officer investigating the case, with a cheeky smile, says, Looks like sir belongs to the soft type. Soon after, we see Ashok Selvan's character involved in a series of explosive action sequences. The challenging situation results in disagreements between the couple. What happens then is what the film is all about... It may be recalled that actress Preity Mukhundhan, who plays the female lead opposite actor Ashok Selvan in the film, had, on an earlier occasion, told him that she was eternally grateful to him for giving her the amount of space that she had now got in the film. Participating in the title teaser launch event of the film, Preity Mukhundan had said, This team is more than a team. They are family. Everyone in this team is very close to my heart. When you watch the film, all of you will like it. You will see how much heart and passion has gone into this film. I am genuinely feeling emotional. The actress, who thanked actor Ashok Selvan, said, Ashok, I don't know how to thank you. Of all the mainstream male actors, Ashok is one person I can confidently say who will, without any insecurity, give space to his female co-stars. It is an amazing, amazing quality. Thank you. I am eternally grateful to you for giving me the space you have given me in this film. The actress also thanked director R Kaarthikeyan for helping her pull of the challenging role. She said, Karthik sir, they told me that you were the one who vouched for me when I did the audition. I don't know why but throughout this film, you have helped me, taught me the nuances of this character, worked with me and extracted it from me. Thank you so much. This is a character that you have beautifully written. As you said, this character will connect with a lot of women and girls. The film, which has been produced by K.Karunamoorthy, Ashok Selvan and Abinaya Selvam, has music by Govind Vasantha. The film has cinematography by Gowtham Rajendran and editing by Selva RK. Stunts in the film have been choreographed by Peter Hein and art direction is by Manikandan Srinivasan. While the story of the film has been penned by Vignesh Raja, its screenplay have been jointly penned by Vignesh Raja, R Kaarthikeyan and Ashok Selvan.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 17 (IANS) A family dispute is suspected to have been the reason behind the deadly attack in Bengaluru on a 26-year-old nurse from West Bengal, allegedly by her estranged husband from Tamil Nadu, police said on Thursday. The victim, Madhumita, is in critical condition following the attack near Narayana Hospital in J.P. Nagar Third Phase. DCP South Dr. Vamshi Krishna, who visited the spot, said the accused, identified as Venkateshan, allegedly attacked Madhumita with a machete and a long knife after throwing a liquid suspected to be acid, on her. The incident took place around 9.15 a.m. near Narayana Hospital, where Madhumita works as a nurse. According to the DCP, the accused wore a helmet during the assault and used two deadly weapons in the attack. The accused has used a liquid similar to acid and assaulted the woman with a machete and a long knife. The couple are husband and wife, and the incident is suspected to have taken place against the backdrop of a family dispute, Dr. Vamshi Krishna said. Madhumita and Venkateshan had married in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, in 2024. However, the couple had reportedly not been living together for around one-and-a-half years. Madhumita had been staying in a PG accommodation in Bengaluru, while Venkateshan had earlier worked in Bengaluru before moving to Chennai. Police said Venkateshan had travelled from Madurai to Bengaluru on Wednesday night and allegedly arrived with the liquid and weapons before carrying out the attack. He was arrested and is being questioned by the police. The Scene of Crime Officers (SOCO) team has collected and is examining the liquid allegedly used in the attack to determine whether it was acid. According to police sources, the couple had met through a dating application. Venkateshan allegedly suspected Madhumita and frequently fought with her over her social media posts and reels. During questioning, Venkateshan allegedly told police that his wife was not listening to him and that he suspected she was with another man. He allegedly attacked her more than 10 times with the deadly weapons. It can be recalled that Venkateshan allegedly chased Madhumita when she came out of the hospital. She ran towards the cellar parking area of the hospital, where the accused allegedly caught hold of her and threw the acid-like liquid on her. He then allegedly grabbed her by the hair and attacked her repeatedly with a machete and the knife. The assault reportedly took place in full public view. Several people raised an alarm and attempted to intervene, but the accused allegedly waved the machete at those who tried to approach him. Some members of the public reportedly attempted to rescue Madhumita by pelting stones at the accused, but were unable to overpower him.

Udhayanidhi hails DMKs 78-year journey, recalls partys foundation and legacy
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 17 (IANS) DMK youth wing secretary Udhayanidhi Stalin on Thursday hailed the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagams entry into its 78th year, saying the party had taken politics beyond the privileged sections and placed it in the hands of ordinary people. In a post on X marking the partys foundation anniversary, Udhayanidhi said the DMK was born on a rain-soaked day, with C.N. Annadurai, then in his forties, leading young colleagues, including M. Karunanidhi, who was in his twenties. He said the party could take pride in having elevated Tamil society to unprecedented heights during its 78-year journey, irrespective of whether it was in power or in the Opposition. Udhayanidhi said the DMKs politics had remained rooted in social justice, State rights, womens empowerment and industrial development. From securing the renaming of Madras State as Tamil Nadu, to consistently advocating greater autonomy for States, the party had played a defining role in shaping Tamil Nadus political and social landscape, he said. The DMK was founded on September 17, 1949, under the leadership of Annadurai following a split in the Dravidar Kazhagam headed by social reformer Periyar E.V. Ramasamy. The new organisation emerged as a political movement committed to social equality, rationalism, Tamil identity and the rights of backward and marginalised communities. The party held its founding meeting at Robinson Park in Royapuram, Chennai, amid heavy rain. Annadurai became its first general secretary. Unlike the Dravidar Kazhagam, which largely remained a social reform movement and stayed away from electoral politics, the DMK decided to contest elections and use legislative power to advance its objectives. The DMK first formed the government in Tamil Nadu in 1967 under Annadurai, ending Congress dominance in the State. After Annadurais death, Karunanidhi led the party for nearly five decades. It is now headed by M.K. Stalin. Udhayanidhi said the party continued to advance strongly under Stalins leadership despite repression, political crises and the emergence of new opponents. Black and red are not merely colours; they are our life, he said, referring to the colours of the DMK flag. Calling upon cadres to work tirelessly as the party moves towards its centenary, he concluded by wishing the DMK a long and enduring future.

Tamil Nadu CM C Joseph Vijays first foreign trip a success, says govt
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 17 (IANS) Director Gowtam Tinnanuri, who is to direct the eagerly awaited 'MS - A Legacy on Screen', the biopic of legendary Carnatic singer and Bharat Ratna Awardee M S Subbulakshmi, has now said that they would want to capture the human side of the iconic singer's life in the film. Speaking at the film's launch event which was held at the Music Academy here on Wednesday evening, director Gowtam Tinnanuri disclosed that his entire team had been researching on the great singer for the last one year. He said, For the last one year, our entire team was constantly living with one name, M.S. Subbulakshmi Amma. When we started our work, we first thought we were working on a picture in which we had to show India's greatest musician ever produced. But after getting into the story, we slowly realised that it was not simply about a great musician. It's about an extraordinary life. He went on to add, When you see M.S. Amma's life, the Bharat Ratna, the great stages, the great concert halls -- all these are just parts of her life. But behind all these, there is a human being, there is a daughter, there is an artiste, there is a woman who dreamed, who saw success, who saw failure, who did a lot of sacrifice. We want to capture that human side of M.S. Amma's life in this film. The director said, I am so glad there are lot of youngsters who have come here. We live in a very fast-paced world. Fame comes overnight and probably success is measured by the number of likes, shares and subscribers that one gets. On the other hand, when you see M.S. Amma, her greatness was built over a lifetime through sheer discipline and patience. And I think that's a very good and very powerful message what we can take to the next generation. Gowtam Tinnanuri also sought to reassure the fans of the great singer that the team looking to make the biopic understood the great responsibility they had. From the entire team, I would like to say one thing. We truly understand the magnitude of this story. And whatever the frame we create or whatever the script we write, everything comes from the deep respect and love for M.S. Amma. We are grateful. I am talking on behalf of the entire team. We are grateful and we really thank God for giving us this opportunity to spend this part of our lives with the story of M.S. Amma, he reassured. For the unaware, actress Rashmika Mandanna is to play the role of legendary carnatic singer and Bharat Ratna Awardee M S Subbulakshmi in her biopic, which was officially launched on the occasion of her 110th birth anniversary celebrations. The film, which is to be directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, will have music by one of the top music directors in the country, Anirudh Ravichander. Along with Geetha Arts, the film is to be produced by Rockline Entertainment and Bunny Vas Works.

Congress to launch caste census campaign in Tamil Nadu today
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 17 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) will launch a statewide campaign on Thursday to highlight what it describes as serious shortcomings in the Centres proposed method of collecting caste data during the population census. TNCC president and Virudhunagar MP Manickam Tagore said the campaign would cover 10 major cities across Tamil Nadu through public meetings and interactive discussions. It will oppose the use of open-ended questions for recording caste details and advocate a drop-down system based on predefined community lists, which the party believes will produce more reliable data for framing social justice policies. AICC general secretary and Tamil Nadu in-charge Ghulam Ahmad Mir and Dravidar Kazhagam president K. Veeramani will participate in the launch of the campaign. In a statement, Tagore accused the BJP-led Union government of attempting to prevent backward-class communities from securing adequate representation by concealing the actual size of the Other Backward Classes population. He said the Centre had earlier deferred the caste census by citing issues connected with delimitation. It has now proposed collecting caste information relating to Scheduled Castes and OBCs through open-ended questions, claiming that no comprehensive list of OBC communities was available. Tagore alleged that the move was part of a deliberate strategy to deny backward communities their rightful share in political power, education and employment. He questioned why an open-ended format was being proposed for OBCs when clearly defined lists were already available for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities. The second phase of the population census, which will include collection of caste-related information, is considered particularly significant because of its implications for reservation and welfare policies. Tagore maintained that a predefined drop-down list would reduce errors, prevent duplication and ensure more accurate classification of communities. The Congress leader also accused the Centre of withholding information on corporate loan write-offs and wilful defaulters. Despite a Supreme Court ruling in 2015, public-sector institutions, including the Reserve Bank of India and Bank of Baroda, had allegedly declined to disclose the names of corporate borrowers who failed to repay their loans. Of the Rs 35,716 crore written off, only 28 per cent had been recovered, he claimed. Responding to the Left parties decision to contest the coming bypolls independently, Tagore said he could not comment on their strategy. However, he expressed surprise that parties which had supported the government in the Assembly have chosen to enter the electoral contest separately.

Nimisha Sajayan tells 'Enna Vilai' director Sajeev Pazhoor: I'm incredibly proud of you!
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 17 (IANS) Actress Nimisha Sajayan, whose performance in director Sajeev Pazhoor's eagerly awaited social drama, 'Enna Vilai', has come in for praise from industry insiders and critics, has now penned a post of gratitude ahead of the film's release in which she has told the film's director that she was incredibly proud of him. Taking to her Instagram page to pen the post of gratitude, Nimisha Sajayan wrote, Dear Sajeev Chettan, nine years later we are collaborating again and it feels so special. In 2017 you gave me Sreeja, my debut character and in many ways thats where this beautiful journey began for me. And after nine years, you have once again given me a character that is so special and close to my heart...Kanchana. She went on to say,Thank you for trusting me with Kanchana. Thank you for believing in me...for supporting me & for being there throughout this journey. Tomorrow is a very special day as Enna Vilai releases your debut as a director. Ive seen your dedication, passion and all the love youve poured into this film. Weve all witnessed the writer in you and tomorrow the world gets to witness the director. Im so excited and incredibly proud of you. Enna Vilai releases tomorrow in theatres near you. Please go watch & show this beautiful film some love. Heres to your new beginning..Sajeev Ettan, she wrote. It may be recalled that the actress had only recently disclosed that the director had never disclosed to her which character he had in mind for her while he first narrated the script to her. Nimisha Sajayan had said, When Sajeev narrated the story to me, he didnt tell me which character he had in mind for me. He simply said, Okay, now, you pick. There were two beautifully written characters, and Rishis character was also brilliantly written. So, I was genuinely curious and a little sceptical about whether he was considering me for Vijayalakshmis character or the role of Kanchana. But honestly, I was happy either way. I was completely open to taking up Vijis character as well because I really liked the space the character offered. Stating that she already had a soft corner for Kanchanas character, Nimisha said, So, when Sajeev finally told me that the character he had in mind for me was Kanchana, I was overwhelmed. I was almost in tears. I just hugged him and asked him, Why did you do this? I wasnt sure which character he was going to offer me because both were so beautifully and strongly written. But the moment he said, Its you, it became a very emotional moment for me. The beauty of 'Enna Vilai' is that every character has a deep emotional arc. Stating that she didnt have many combination scenes with Karunaas, who plays the lead in the film, Nimisha said his performance was extraordinary. Vijayalakshmis character is also very hard-hitting, and she has excelled as a performer. I am so glad that the press and media fraternity has received the film so warmly. It is a bliss to receive such heartfelt appreciation for my character. Director Sajeev deserves all the credit for bringing these characters to life. I am sure Enna Vilai will remain a memorable film for cinema lovers, she said. Rooted in a socially relevant premise, Enna Vilai follows a man whose means of survival is tied to the coins devotees offer to the sea near Rameswaram. What begins as a struggle for dignity and livelihood gradually develops into a larger legal battle, bringing questions of justice, survival and human dignity into sharp focus. Written and directed by Sajeev Pazhoor, Enna Vilai has been produced by Githesh V under the banner of Kalamaya Films. The film features music by Sam C.S., cinematography by Alby Antony and editing by Sreejith Sarang.
