Mankatha Game Begins on Monday
The shooting for Ajith's 50th film "Mankatha" will begin on October 25th Monday. The producer for the film is Cloud Nine Movies Dhayanidi Alagiri. Dhayanidi Alagiri stated that he is waiting to hear Venkat Prabhu say "ACTION" on Monday. Ajith, Nagarjun, Trisha, Mahat and a host of stars feature in Mankatha. It will be the most expected movie of 2011.
Yuvan speaks about mankatha to Times of India
This Navaratri was very special for Yuvan Shankar Raja. After all, the busy music composer got to spend some time with his family. “We celebrate Navaratri in a grand way; several singers come to our house and we have beautiful musical evenings. So, during those days, I stopped working by 6 pm and rushed home,” begins Yuvan.
He has more than a dozen projects in his hand, but Yuvan says he’s got it all worked out. “I usually work on two projects at a time. Now, I’m working on Vaanam and Mankatha,” he says.
Despite Vaanam being a remake of the Telugu hit Vedham, Yuvan says he hasn’t retained any tunes from the original. “Each character in Vaanam, be it Simbu or Anushka or Vega and Bharath, has a song and every song belongs to a different genre,” he says, “Usually, filmmakers release the album to promote the film. But, we will be launching a teaser promo and just a song from Vaanam to endorse the music album, which will be released later. Simbu and I have each sung a song for the teaser promo.” He adds, “I’m currently working on a single track for Vaanam and it will be on the lines of a futuristic club mix.”
Yuvan has also started work on Venkat Prabhu’s Mankatha. “There will be six songs in the film and I’ve composed tunes for five of them. We are yet to have a sitting with the lyricists and finalise on who will be singing which song,” he reveals.
For Yuvan, Mankatha is special for various reasons. “I’ve already done four films with Ajith and I want our fifth film to be a huge hit. In fact, Ajith had called me earlier to say that our combination in this film should work wonders at the BO. So, I’m taking extra care while composing.”
Revealing details of the album, he says, “Appa (maestro Ilaiyaraaja) and I are planning to sing a pathos number for the album. While appa will be singing in Tamil, I will be singing the English lyrics.”
Yuvan has also finished work on Bala’s Avan Ivan and Ameer’s Aadhi Bhagavan. “A full-fledged Hindi track, sung by Mohit Chauhan (of Masakkali… fame), will be the highlight of Aadhi Bhagavan,” he adds.
Yuvan will also be making his Bollywood debut soon with Mani Ratnam’s production. “Though I’d composed a single track for Siddharth’s Striker, this film will be my proper Bollywood debut. The film, directed by Mani Ratam’s associate Shivakumar, has Vivek Oberoi in the lead,” he says.
While Yuvan’s film graph is soaring, he’s also excited about his first live concert in Chennai on December 18. “I’m thrilled beyond words. I’ve done concerts internationally, but the experience of performing in my home city is just inexplicable. I will be altering the BGM or adding a few more keys to the songs. For instance, I’m planning to perform the remixed version of Oru Naal… from Pudupettai. This will be an experience of a lifetime,” he signs off.

Yuvan’s compositions for Venkat Prabhu movies so far have been chart toppers right from Chennai-28 till Goa, so rest assured ‘Mankatha’ that has Ajith as the trump card will be no exception. And did you people have a look at the ‘Mankatha’ posters, one sight and that gets you into retro mode!
Ajith is in focus and is accessorized with sunglasses, while aiming a gun and below him is the logo of the movie that has the four symbols of the playing cards! Creatively designed, we should agree! Recall, Venkat Prabhu’s previous movie logos, ‘Chennai-28’ was like blocks in an inland-letter envelope, while ‘Saroja’ was like a name board and ‘Goa’ with a bottle and wine glass hidden within. Going by the ‘Mankatha’ poster, Ajith fans would be delighted to see the lower-right corner where it says the movie is coming in Summer 2011! Are we hearing the ‘thalai’ screams already?
As the director says, the movie will be a fun ride, and with Ajith in it you can expect it to be a roller-coaster ride! ‘Mankatha’ is produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri for Cloud Nine Movies.

Ajith & Trisha play the lead pair
‘Mankatha’ is springing up more surprises as days are going by. The Venkat Prabhu – Ajith film has already crated a sensation with its first official teaser.
Now the star cast assembling for film is going to put all jaws down. ‘Mankatha’ is going to be the real multi-starrer after many years. So in keeping the sprits high Venkat Prabhu has brought together Ajith, Nagarjuna, Lakshmi Rai, Premji Amaran, Ganesh Venkatraman, debutant Mahat.
Now the latest addition to ‘Mankatha’ is Trisha. Sources say there are a few other big names confirmed for the film and they will be revealed soon. The pre-production work of ‘Mankatha’ is almost complete and Venkat Prabhu may roll the camera anytime from now. The film will have 6 songs and two of them are complete and ready.
Being the 50th film Ajith, most of Ajith’s favourite friends in the industry are doing cameos in ‘Mankatha’. Will Silambarasan also be there? Wait for the moment.
Another thing our sources said was that the role swapping by Ajith and Nagarjuna in Tamil and Telugu version is not happening and the two big stars will play the same role in both the version. It is also categorically said ‘Mankatha’ will not be dubbed in Telugu and a separate independent version will be shot with the same rich cast.
Mankatha Shooting Starts
Ajith's 50th film "MANKATHA"is gearing up in high speed. A test shoot for the movie was performed today (Oct 19, 2010). Artists including Premgi Amaren, Mahat Raghavendra and Vaibhav Reddy took part in the test shoot. Shooting of Ajith's Mankatha will commence on Oct 25, 2010.
Srilankan Model in Mankatha?
Ever since the announcement of Mankatha happened, news from the camp never ceases to stop. Venkat Prabhu and his team are busy with the first schedule of the movie. Mankatha, a multi-starrer, will also have Nagarjuna acting alongside Ajith. Recent developments indicate that Sri Lankan model and actress Jacqueline Fernandez has been roped in for the movie. She will play an important role in the movie. Jacqueline has already debuted in Bollywood in the movie Aladin starring Amitabh Bachchan and Ritesh Deshmukh.
It is interesting to note that Neetu Chandra and Lakshmi Rai are also a part of the movie. As multi-starrers are a rarity in Tamil cinema, Mankatha has already raised the expectations in Kollywood. This being Ajith's 50th, we can expect a cracker of a movie.
