MANKATHA IS MADE BY AN AJITH FAN

Venkat Prabhu is pulling out all stops to make Ajith’s Golden Jubilee film different and special. This was evident in the way the music release function was held. Since Ajith could not make it to the function as he is shooting for Billa 2 in Hyderabad, it was a low key and offbeat event. Ajith is usually not keen on promoting his films and prefers to let the suspense build and wow the fans onscreen.

Consequently, the audio was released at a radio station. Director Venkat Prabhu, Yuvan Shankar Raja and Vaibhav were present and they made up for the absence of the rest of the starry cast by keeping a lively commentary going and interacting with the fans. It was a very pleasant affair.

Venkat Prabhu said that Mankatha was going to be a super treat for Ajith fans, because he himself is a huge fan and therefore made the film the way a fan would. He said that Ajith fans have certain expectations from their Thala and he also has always wanted to see Ajith in a certain way and that is exactly how he has attempted to promote him. He also thanked Ajith for being such a sport because most heroes are reluctant to attempt double – hero projects but thanks to his cooperation Ajith and Arjun have come together on screen for the first time and it is going to be a great combination. Yuvan looking very much like the youth icon he released the music in an informal manner and was greeted by raucous cheers.

Sony Music will be releasing the music online as well. Pre – booking for DVDs has seen a very good response and in addition to this, it will also be possible to download the music in a legal manner. The makers have requested fans not to encourage piracy and to buy only legitimate DVDs and watch the film only in theatres.

The trailer was released recently and it has generated an absolutely phenomenal response. Ajith is looking very handsome and debonair and his fans are going crazy. The Ajith – Arjun combo is also looking good. The film will have four heroines – Trisha, Lakshmi Rai, Anjali, and Andrea so there will be plenty of glamour as well. The action scenes also look amazing. Looks like Mankatha is going to be a super fun game!
