Praise For Ajith

The unit of Mankatha, Ajith’s golden jubilee flick directed by Venkat Prabhu, has just completed a hectic schedule in Mumbai and returned to the city.

Sources say that a segment of the story takes place in Mumbai’s Dharavi slums and Trisha portrays Sanjana, the daughter of a mafia don from Dharavi, while Ajith plays Vinayak, sporting a salt-and-pepper hairstyle like George Clooney in Ocean’s 11.

Speaking to DC, Venkat Prabhu said, “Like I said earlier, Ajith and I decided to go in for a new styling in terms of his look and it was finally sir who suggested this George Clooney look. Incidentally it goes well with the character Vinayak in the movie. I am confident that his look will click in a very big way once the movie is released.”

He clears the misconception that it is a gangster film, “Mankatha is a traditional card game played in the state by betting sums of money. Similarly, here too, it’s about different people trying to do something and how everything changes at a particular point.” Though he was tightlipped about the theme, sources say that it is about cricket betting during the IPL season.

Meanwhile, Prabhu is simultaneously editing the portions canned so far and Yuvan Shankar Raja has also started his recording work. The director was ecstatic when his producer Dhayanidhi Alagiri was all praise for him after watching the rough cuts of Mankatha. “He is a great fan of Ajith. Soon after watching the clippings, he got so excited that he hugged me and remarked ‘Thala Thala Than’.”
