Ajith To Make A New Style In Mankatha

Venkat Prabhu is all excited about his highly-anticipated film Mankatha with Ajith which is going on the floors from October 20 in Hyderabad.
The young filmmaker, who has an out-of-the-box approach to his narrative style, opens up about Mankatha in an exclusive interview to DC.
He starts the conversation with, “Ajith sir gave me a big hug after he heard the final script and it was really heartwarming.” It’s heard that Ajith will be sporting an interesting new look in Mankatha. The director responds, “I discussed his ‘look’ and styling with him at length recently. He called me closer and said, ‘You leave it to me. From today, you are not meeting me till the first day of our shooting!’“I am confident,” he continues, “That he will spring a surprise and come up with his own style statement.”
Refuting rumours that the movie is a gangster film, he explains, “Mankatha is a game of probabilities. Similarly, here, it’s about different people trying to do something and how the equation changes with one particular thing. So there will be lots of unexpected twists and turns. Though it’s a high-voltage action movie with a darker shade to it, there is no violence.”
People say it has been inspired by a Hollywood film. “Oh no! It is my own unadulterated, original script and our own ‘desi’ story, the kind which is actually happening all over the country. The movie, which begins in Hyderabad with Ajith and Trisha, will be shot extensively within India in Bengaluru, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai.”

And where will the romantic songs be shot? “It does have a mature, lively romance, but there are no clichéd dream song sequences. We are not going to shoot abroad at all.” There are no CG effects either. According to him it will be a live action, realistic film. He confirms that Neetu Chandra is not a part of the project. Ask him about Trisha’s ‘look’ in the film and he grins. “Trisha is already beautiful. She will be a surprise factor in the flick.”

Simbu’s new film – ‘Vettai Mannan’

The Vettaiyan character immortalized by Rajinikanth in ‘Chandramukhi’ has inspired a new film from Silambarasan. He has announce a new film ‘Vettai Mannan’.

When Silambarasan was shooting in London for 'Podaa Podi' a new director Nelson narrated the outline of 'Vettai Mannan' which was greatly liked by Silambarasan. Silambarasan immediately called for the full script from Nelson and went through the script completely in London. The script was so hilarious that Silambarasan immediately shared that with his friend NIC Arts Chakravarthy and told him about the comedy. Chakravarthy also heard the full narrative and immediately decided to produce the film himself.

Silambarasan will be the hero of 'Vettai Mannan' and actor Jai will play a strong supporting character. There are three heroines wanted for the story out of which one will be from Hollywood. Even the stunts are to be choreographed by Hollywood stunt artistes. Big plans of course.

'Vettai Mannan' will be shot in places like Chennai, USA and Mexico. The film is an action- comedy genre which will bring out never seen before facets of Silambarasan and Jai on screen.

Silambarasan is currently busy with 'Podaa Podi in London and he will be back in Chennai for the second schedule of 'Vaanam' in the first week of October. The launch function of the action-comedy may well be even before the start of that.
