Mani Ratnam has not yet revealed if he will be involved in the direction of one of Navasara's episode. In fact, Mani Ratnam has not even shared an official announcement for this upcoming project. Moreover, if reports are to be believed, then the web series will feature South stars Fahadh Faasil and Suriya. Both Fahadh Faasil and Suriya have not yet made their OTT debut. So this project might be their very first OTT collaboration. 

According to reports, part the income from Navasara will be given to workers of the Tamil film industry. Film workers have been hit hard due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many workers have been jobless since the beginning of the pandemic due to the cancellation of all movie and TV show productions which is why many big-name stars are now donating food and money to workers from the film industry.
