Mani Ratnam has announced the title of his next film, Inji Vellam, starring Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles. The film is a romance, marking the master craftsman’s return with another beautiful story that is expected to leave a lasting impression on audiences.

The title announcement poster instantly brings back memories of Mani Ratnam’s romantic classics like Geethanjali and OK Kanmani. Rain covers both Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi in the poster, creating a soft and poetic mood that reflects the filmmaker’s signature treatment of romance. He has also presented both leads in their best looks while retaining a natural appearance.

Inji Vellam means “Ginger Sweet” or “Ginger Jaggery.” The title itself conveys the nature of the central couple, with one being like ginger and the other like jaggery, suggesting contrasting personalities coming together.

A.R. Rahman is composing the music for the film, which is being produced by Lyca Productions and India Talkies. The story is set against a Kolkata backdrop, and the team has already completed around 40–50% of the shoot. Inji Vellam is targeting a January 2027 theatrical release and is locked for the Sankranti festive season.
