Chennai: After Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan, it is now the turn of his former teammate Harbhajan Singh to make his cinema debut, once again from Tamil.

The 'turbanator' will star along popular actor Santhanam in his next flick 'Dickiloona,' the makers of the film said in a release on Tuesday.

"Harbhajan Singh is acting in a very very important character in the film where Santhanam is featured in three roles," it said.

The film is being jointly produced by KJR Studios and Soldier Factory, and helmed by Karthik Yogi. Yuvan Shankar Raja is scoring the music.

Meanwhile, Singh tweeted in Tamil to thank the producers of roping him in the film.

Tamil Nadu was the land from where 'Thalaivar, Thala and Thalapathy,' had emerged, he said in an apparent reference to superstar Rajinikanth and top actors Ajith Kumar and Vijay, respectively.

Earlier, Pathan had come on-board a Tamil film starring actor Vikram and directed by Ajay Gananamuthu.

Baghpat (UP) (PTI): Police said on Saturday that three youths allegedly bludgeoned a man to death with a brick in Meetli village here following a late-night beer party.

Preliminary investigations suggest the dispute arose from a suspected illicit relationship, said police, adding that the three accused have been detained.

Police received information on Saturday morning that the body of Sonu (40), a resident of Dola village, was lying in the forest near Meetli village.

There were visible signs of severe head injuries on his body, and bottles of liquor and beer were also recovered from the crime scene, leading to the suspicion that a drinking party had taken place there before the incident, police said.

Superintendent of Police Suraj Kumar Rai said police registered a case based on the written complaint submitted by the family members.

Police sent the body for a postmortem.

According to the deceased's family members, two youngsters from the same village took him away at 8:00 pm on Friday, and he never returned home.

They said when they tried to contact him via phone, his mobile number was switched off.

The deceased worked as a street food vendor in the village and is survived by his wife, two sons, and two daughters.
