Arjun and Jyothika starring Manikanda was directed by Selva and shelved a long time ago due to financial crisis. Now after a long time the work for the film is once again in progress. Director Selva who is busy with Manikanda for the moment, has planned to do his other films in line like Mamu and Thotta, once his current venture gets over. Note that the title Manikanda is changed to Nanba now.
