Mankatha

Friday, May 27, 2011 • தமிழ் Comments

 There is a lot of anticipation, there are a host of stars, then there is 'Thala' and this will be his 50th innings in Tamil!
 
Venkat Prabhu's 'Mankatha' has raised expectations by leaps and bounds among Ajith fans and film buffs. The film sees Ajith in a first-time ever full-fledged negative character, suggest reports closely associated with the film. Trisha will play female lead with Arjun chipping in as a CBI officer.
 
Andrea Jeremiah, Lakshmi Rai, Premji Amaran, Vaibhav, and Anjali will be seen essaying important roles. Even the smallest incident from the sets of 'Mankatha' has garnered a lot of media attention and we have updated you regarding many interesting aspects which took place on-location as well as while the shooting was going on.
 
A single from the music album 'Vilayadu Mankatha...' which released on the eve of Thala's birthday was lapped up by Ajith and Yuvan fans alike and is topping music charts. Now the team has confirmed that the rest of the songs, nine tracks on the whole, will see a grand release on July 18!
 
The fans expectations are mounting, and with Yuvan scoring the music we can expect some chartbusting numbers on its way.
 
Ajith committed himself for a rigorous 90-day shooting schedule. The actor has done a lot of hard work for this film which is evident from the way some scenes have shaped up. The racer has also performed some hair-raising car chases without using a body-double (do you remember the 360 degree rotation he did on a Swift?).
 
Another aspect that has received a lot of attention is the look that 'Thala' will sport in this film. The actor has decided to have a natural hairdo sans any colour-the salt and pepper look which Ajith will be seen sporting in 'Mankatha' will urge many men to shun hair colour, reveals the director of the film.
 
The film has been shot extensively from Chennai, Mumbai (particularly Dharavi), Hyderabad, Bangkok, and Macau. Ajith wrapped up his final day shooting from Hyderabad.
 
Even before the release of 'Mankatha' there are some rumours doing the rounds that some producers are eager for a Hindi remake, though nothing regarding this has been confirmed yet.
 
The film which deals with the gambling game will have the IPL matches as the backdrop and is expected to hit theatres around the Independence Day weekend.
