Overview
- Mukta Arts unveiled a new-look poster for Manya and publicly confirmed key production and casting details on October 24, tying the announcement to the company’s anniversary and Ghai’s milestone year.
- Manya is directed by Sameer Joshi and is produced by Mukta Arts with Puneet Aggarwal and Rahul Puri in association with Slow Burn Entertainment.
- Shreyas Talpade leads the cast with Samvedna Suwalka, Divya Sharma, Priyadarshini Pooja and Zoheb Farooqui in pivotal roles, and promotional materials present the film as a human-centred drama rather than a crime thriller.
- The project marks a high-profile reunion for Ghai and Talpade nearly two decades after their collaboration on Iqbal and arrives as Ghai completes 50 years in Indian cinema while Mukta Arts celebrates its 48th anniversary.
- Mukta Arts said it will broaden output into animated features, theatrical films, OTT series and documentaries, and Ghai continues to develop other projects including Khalnayak Returns with Sanjay Dutt and a courtroom drama with Anil Kapoor.
