Kainaat Arora - Latest Addition To Ajith's Mankatha

Remember the gorgeous girl who wooed and wowed with Akshay Kumar in the song 'Aila Re Aila' from Khatta Meetha?

She donned Dimple Kapadia's look from 'Main Maike Chali Jaaongi' and caught everybody's attention and fantasy. That was Kainaat Arora for you. Though the actress debuted in Bollywood with just an item number, there has been no looking back for her with some of the best offers coming her way. The young lass just finished shooting a song with South superstar Ajith Kumar for his 50 th film Mankatha.

Talking about the song Kainaat reveals, "The film is very special for Ajith as it's his 50 th film and I couldn't have asked for more than an exclusive dance number with the Tamil superstar."

Kainaat is highly excited about the song and is sure it will be a huge hit. She says, "The song is very much like my Hindi song Aila Re Aila and Munni Badnaam Hui. It has a bar setting set in old Mumbai and is very edgy. We shot it in Chennai and it was great fun working with Ajith and the entire Mankatha team."

Confident about impressing the Tamil audience with her latkas-jhatkas, Kainaat says, "Akshay Kumar has been lucky for me and now I did this song with Ajith Kumar. I guess 'Kumar' is my lucky charm. So I am sure this song too will get me recognition from the Tamil audience and film fraternity."

Interestingly, its not just item numbers that Kainaat can boast about. The actress is in final talks with a few big banners where she will exhibit more than just her dancing skills. "I feel fortunate that after working with Akshay in Khatta Meetha, people have noticed me and approached me with some irresistible offers. I can't divulge much right now but the projects offered are really big with A-league directors and actors and I shall spill the beans soon," says Kainaat with dreams in her eyes and 'light a zillion lamps' smile on her face.

மங்காத்தா'வில் முத்தக்காட்சியா?!

முத்தக் காட்சி மட்டுமல்ல; மத்தக் காட்சி எதிலும் ஆர்வம் காட்டாதவர் அஜித். அவரையே மல்லுக்கட்டி முத்தம் கொடுக்க வைத்திருக்கிறார் வெங்கட்பிரபு.


'மங்காத்தா'வில் அஜித், த்ரிஷா காதல் எபிசோட் அவ்வளவு க்யூட்டாக வந்திருக்கிறது என ஆனந்தப்படுகிறார்கள். முத்தம் இல்லாத காதல் முந்திரி இல்லாத பாயாசம்தானே? அதனால் ஒரு முத்தக் காட்சி அவசியம் என அஜித்தையும், த்ரிஷாவையும் முத்தமிட வைத்திருக்கிறார் வெங்கட்பிரபு. முதலில் தயங்கினாலும் அஜித் நன்றாகவே கொடுத்திருக்கிறாராம் முத்தம். காதல் மன்னனாச்சே...அதான் நச்சுன்னு கொடுத்திருக்காரு....

Mankatha's Full Of Grey Shades

Here’s a Kollywood film that’s based on cricket betting. Thala Ajith’s golden jubilee film Mankatha, which directed by Venkat Prabhu, has Trisha playing the daughter of an underworld don from Mumbai’s Dharavi slums, and Ajith’s love interest.

According to sources, the movie is about cricket betting during an IPL season. The interesting part is that all the actors, including Ajith and Action King Arjun, portray roles with negative shades.

Venkat Prabhu says, “Mankatha is about different people trying to make something happen and how everything changes when one particular factor comes into play. So there will be a lot of unexpected twists and turns. This is not a gangster flick. Though it’s a high-voltage action movie with darker shades, there is no violence involved.”

The director continues, “It does have a mature, lively romance, but there are no clichéd dream song sequences.”

He predicts that Trisha will be the surprise package. The movie’s ensemble cast includes Ajith, Trisha, Arjun, Lakshmi Rai,Vaibhav, Anjali, Premgi Amaran, Mahat, Ganesh Venkatram.

Producer Dhayanidhi Alagiri is confident that he can wrap up the film by mid-March and release it on May 1, which happens to be Ajith’s birthday.
