Ajith to buy flight
Venkat Prabhu’s take on ‘Mankatha’
Before zeroing in on ‘Mankatha’ it looks like ‘thala’ went through three different stories which Venkat Prabhu had readied for the actor. We had earlier revealed to you that Ajith’s character, Vinayak Mahadevan, though the lead in the film, is portrayed as a character with grey shades. Ajith seems to have liked this character and gave his nod to Venkat, who was initially hesitant to make ‘Mankatha’ because of the negative shades of the protagonist.
IndiaGlitz released the first song byte of ‘Mankatha’ for Thala’s birthday and from the response we are getting for the song teaser it looks like Ajith was right in choosing this script! The hero has trimmed down for the film and his salt and peppery do, looks rocking! For all those ladies who were drooling over George Clooney, they will meet his desi version through this film! Kudos to Vasuki Basker, Venkat’s cousin, who is the stylist and costume designer for this film.
While the team was shooting in Dharavi it looks like Ajith sprained his leg and had to shoot with his cast on. Some people who witnessed the scene being shot mistook Ajith in the cast for a dual role and started spreading rumors that Ajith would appear in a double role in the film, revealed the director jokingly!
Venkat Prabhu also revealed that they had to shoot a long stunt sequence which would appear in the climax of the film. Arjun will be seen as a CBI officer, Prithvi who is on the look out for Vinayak. The film has as its background on the IPL matches with the camera zooming into gambling. The team feels that if all goes well ‘Mankatha’ might hit theatres in June!
Ajith with his 50th film!
Rumour mill is abuzz about Ultimate Star Ajithkumar’s 50th film. While all and sundry is doing guess works on who the lucky producer and director will be, Ajith seems to focus solely on ‘Asal’. Directed by Saran, ‘Asal’ is shaping up well is now back from Malaysian schedule.
However, the latest we hear is that the actor is holding discussing about negotiations with a choice of producers and directors. However, the usual guesses like K S Ravikumar and Vishnuvardhan are the front-runners. When we consider K S Ravikumar, the pair has done super hit projects like ‘Villain’ and ‘Varalaru’ and share a great bond. But then as Ulaganayagan Kamal is ready to recreate the ‘Dhasavatharam’ magic again, K S Ravikumar is in a tight-spot now!
By the time K S Ravikumar is deciding on the best suitable project for him, the others chosen by Ajith are his favourite ‘Billa’ director Vishnuvardhan, ‘Ayan’ director K V Anand and his dearest Venkat Prabhu.
When we mull-over the production, people are ready to spare an arm and a leg for this golden ticket! Producer Oscar Ravichandran is in the race with Dhayanidhi Alagiri’s Cloud Nine. This is now a toss-up so keep it up till we get back with the domino-effect soon!
Silambarasan in Asal?
It’s not official still, but this tittle-tattle filled every nook and corner of the industry recently. It’s a well-known verity that Silambarasan is a die-hard devotee of Thala Ajith. The actor has never missed to sing the honour of Ajith even in one of his films. Silambarasan wanted to act at least in a single scene of Ajith’s film and he happed to get the right chance now after he told his wish to his hero. Recently it was believed that Silambarasan will be doing a guest role in Ajith’s upcoming project- ‘Asal’. Though the news was rubbished by the production house, it appears like the news is partially true. Yup! Our little superstar will be doing his trade-mark stylized kuthu dance for a song in ‘Asal’. As if this is not enough, Silambarasan will be lending his peerless voice for this very same song! Sources say that after wrapping-up the Malaysian schedule, a grandiose set will be erected for Silambarasan’s singly. Hurray… So, can we expect a lot such solo dances of Silambarasan’s in future? |
Simbhu to sing a song for Ajith in Asal
There are some more interesting facts being revealed in ASAL. The introduction song is being planned to do in a grand manner and Bhardwaj is working extra hard to ensure that his tune matches the expectations. The most interesting part is that Silambarasan will be Singing the song for Ajith.

But, one is sure that Silambarasan, a self confessed admirer and close friend of Ajith will only be glad to do it. Silmabarasan has already given quite a few hits in his own voice, including a few songs sung for others too. The one in Asal, if it happens, will be a special one for all involved.
