# Kayadu Lohar wraps first schedule of Mari Selvaraj’s ‘Manjanathi’ 2026-10-23T11:43:19+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Actress Kayadu Lohar has wrapped the first shooting schedule of Mari Selvaraj's upcoming film ‘Manjanathi’. She announced the update on Instagram on Friday, 23 October, sharing a black-and-white photograph of herself in a saree walking along an empty road with the director. Her caption read: ‘A different world. A different school. A different me. And a storyteller who made me see things a little differently. Schedule wrap for Manjanathi.’ The film stars Priyanka Mohan, Kathir, and Kayadu in lead roles, with Ilaiyaraaja composing the music. It marks the sixth feature from Mari Selvaraj and reunites him with actor Kathir, who headlined his debut film ‘Pariyerum Perumal’ in 2018. The producers, Mari Selvaraj and his wife Divya under Navvi Studios, alongside Sushant Prasad of Skanda Pictures and the Fortune banner, have not yet announced a release date. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Times of India and Cinema Express both rely on Kayadu Lohar's Instagram post to report the first schedule wrap of Mari Selvaraj's ‘Manjanathi’. The coverage is uniform: both outlets used the same quote from the actress and cited the same cast and technical crew. Cinema Express adds production details omitted by Times of India, that Navvi Studios, Skanda Pictures and the Fortune banner are bankrolling the film, but neither outlet offers any concrete news beyond the schedule milestone. The only substantive gap is the release date, which both sources say is still unannounced. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Uniform wire-style report on a schedule wrap - cinemaexpress.com (neutral report) Uniform wire-style report with added production details This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
