Mani Ratnam’s ‘Inji Vellam’ Release Date Confirmed

Legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam is gearing up for his next project, Inji Vellam, a romantic drama featuring Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles. The film has attracted considerable attention, especially after Mani Ratnam’s previous outing, Thug Life, failed to meet expectations at the box office. According to the latest announcement, Inji Vellam is scheduled to arrive in theatres on January 29, 2027. The makers revealed the release date through an attractive motion poster featuring the protagonist’s family, offering a glimpse into the film’s emotional world. Set against the backdrop of Kolkata, the movie is expected to present a romantic story with a distinctive narrative.

One of the interesting aspects of the project is that Mani Ratnam reportedly completed the entire shooting schedule in just three months, surprising many in the industry. The film is being produced by Madras Talkies in association with Lyca Productions and India Talkies. Oscar-winning composer A. R. Rahman is handling the music, adding to the expectations surrounding the project. Netflix has reportedly acquired the post-theatrical streaming rights. With Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi sharing the screen under Mani Ratnam’s direction, the film has generated curiosity among cinema enthusiasts. Audiences are now looking forward to its theatrical release in January 2027.
