Before we get into the news in the title of this post, here are a couple of selfies we took at today’s SonyLiv press meet event at Taj Coromandel, Chennai. SonyLiv organized this event to launch their original web series in Tamil and also to introduce their other language and English content (incl. sports) to viewers here.
