After months of silence, GV Prakash Kumar has offered fans a promising update on Mental Manadhil, his upcoming film with filmmaker Selvaraghavan. The composer, actor and producer took to social media to share a new behind-the-scenes still from the sets, revealing that the film is currently progressing through its fourth schedule and suggesting that production is entering its final stretch.
GV Prakash hints at final leg of production
Mental Manadhil went on floors in December 2024 and has remained one of the more closely watched Tamil projects, largely because it brings together two creative forces with a long-standing musical association in an entirely new capacity. While the makers are yet to reveal details about the film’s story or supporting cast, the latest update indicates that work is moving steadily towards completion.
GV Prakash has repeatedly expressed his excitement about the film, particularly its soundtrack. Having scored music for Selvaraghavan’s acclaimed films Aayirathil Oruvan and Mayakkam Enna, the musician has often hinted that the album for Mental Manadhil is among his most exciting works in recent years.
The project is equally significant because it marks the first time GV Prakash will be directed by Selvaraghavan. Beyond playing the lead, he is also composing the music and producing the film under his banner, Parallel Universe Production House, making it one of his most ambitious ventures to date.

A reunion built on years of creative collaboration
Although Selvaraghavan and GV Prakash have collaborated musically in the past, Mental Manadhil opens a new chapter in their professional relationship. The filmmaker, known for crafting emotionally layered stories and unconventional romances, returns to a genre that helped define his early career.
The film is being positioned as Selvaraghavan’s return to a full-fledged romantic drama, a space he memorably explored in films like 7G Rainbow Colony and the Telugu hit Aadavari Matalaku Arthale Verule, which was later remade in Tamil as Yaaradi Nee Mohini. While the director has experimented with thrillers, psychological dramas and action films over the years, Mental Manadhil is expected to revisit the emotional storytelling that earned him a loyal fan following.
The technical crew includes cinematographer Arun Ramakrishnan, editor Balaji and art director RK Vijay Murugan. However, the makers have remained tight-lipped about the rest of the cast, storyline and release plans, choosing to reveal details gradually as production progresses.
Apart from Mental Manadhil, GV Prakash has a packed slate as both an actor and composer. His upcoming film Immortal, co-starring Kayadu Lohar, is scheduled to hit theatres in September, while he continues to balance acting commitments with composing for multiple projects across the Tamil film industry.
For now, the latest production update has given fans reason to be optimistic. With filming entering its fourth schedule and appearing to move towards the finish line, Mental Manadhil is steadily shaping up as one of the most anticipated collaborations on Selvaraghavan’s upcoming slate. The combination of the filmmaker’s signature emotional storytelling and GV Prakash’s triple role as actor, composer and producer has only heightened curiosity around what the duo has in store.
