Chennai: The producers of this year’s surprise hit film ‘Chennai-600028’ are gearing up to celebrate the movie’s 100th day by conducting a gully cricket tournament.

The film’s producer-director duo S.P.B. Charan and Venkat Prabhu managed to capture the audience’s hearts with their realistic take on gully cricket. The movie even managed to hold its own against the ‘Sivaji’ wave and the news is that ‘Superstar’ Rajnikant too had appreciated the movie.

Now, as the film’s 100th day nears, the ‘Chennai-600028’ team has organised a gully cricket tournament featuring 32 teams from across the State.

The 10-overs-innings matches would be held from August 2 to August 4 on the YMCA grounds in Nandanam. The winning team will get Rs.25,000 and a Gully Cricket Cup.

The runners up will get Rs.10,000.

The winners will also get an opportunity to play against the star team of ‘Chennai-600028’ on August 4, forming part of the 100th day celebration of the movie.

The function will be inaugurated by the Minister of Environment and Sports, T.P.M. Mohideen Khan, and the Mayor will be the chief guest.

S.P.B. Charan said he was happy to be part of the film. “We have worked hard and will certainly enjoy each and every moment of the function. Some of the top stars and cricket players from this part of the city are expected to grace the occasion.”
