The Hindi remake of Maanagaram will be set in Mumbai unlike the original that focused on Chennai. The original movie starred Sriram Natarajan, Sundeep Kishan, and Regina Cassandra in the lead.
The film is produced by Shibu Thameens, under his home banner Thameens Films. The film is written by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Debnath. Sivan who’s lately been making films in the regional languages will be returning to Hindi film direction after 12 years with this yet-untitled film.
