Thala Ajith in Jayam Raja's new project Mankatha

The heroes in Kollywood are very fast in terms of their career as one after the other are signing the films even before the present project gets wrapped up. It was Suriya who has accepted to do a film with director Hari. Now latest we hear is that Thala Ajith who is busy with his current project Mankatha got attracted to Jayam Raja’s script and will be joining hands with him for this project.

It was earlier revealed that director Venkat Prabhu will be doing a project with Vijay and Ajith but there is no buzz on this front. So in the mean time Jayam Raja decided to cast Ajith in his next film after Velayudham. As of now Ajith is busy with Mankatha and after this he will be moving to Billa 2 directed by Chakri Toleti. Gossip is that Thala will be starting his project with Jayam Raja once he completes his prior projects.

Changes in Ajith's 50th Film Again

Ajith has teamed up with maverick director Venkat Prabhu for his landmark 50th film Mangatha. This film had a formal puja on August 2nd, which incidentally marked the completion of Ajith’s 18 years in the film industry. Director Venkat Prabhu is upbeat about this project as he has twin responsibilities of satisfying his fans and Ajith’s audience too.

An interesting news about the film is it has undergone a slight name change in its English spelling. Earlier the film was spelled MANGATHA and from hence forth it will be called MANKATHA, the K replacing the G. When probed, Venkat Prabhu said that he had indeed changed the spelling of the film as per his numerologist’s advice. Here is wishing the team all the luck!

Mangatha - The Game Begins | Ajithkumar's 50th film Mangatha preview and pooja

Ajithkumar’s 50th film Mangatha to be directed by Venkat Prabhu commenced on 2nd August with a somber pooja at A V M Rajeswari studios, Chennai. Coincidentally, Ajith entered filmdom on August 2nd eighteen years ago. This golden jubilee film of Ajith is being produced by Dhayanidhi Azhagiri for Cloud Nine films.

While talking about Mangatha, director Venkat Prabhu says, “I am glad to start Mangatha on this auspicious day wherein Ajith began his filmi journey 18 years back. We are shooting the trailer of the film which will be screened in theatres soon.” He went on to add that Mangatha will be a 2011 summer bonanza.

The heroine of the film is yet to be finalized. Telugu star Nagarjuna is playing an important role in Mangatha and along with Premji Amaran, there would be a newcomer by name Mahath. Major part of the film is slated to be canned in exotic overseas locales.

The event saw a dapper Ajith in a grey shirt flashing his trademark smile. The puja was attended by Vivek Rathnavel of Cloud Nine films, Gangai Amaran, S P B Charan, producer Siva, A V M Kumaran and A V M Saravanan along with the technical team of the film.

Billa -2 is ready for Ajith Kumar

If there has to be one film that made high waves for Ajith Kumar during times of his distress, it can be none other than his mind-boggling action packed thriller titled ‘Billa’, which was a remake of yesteryear superstar Rajnikanth film with the same title. After three years of time, the maker of Billa is ready with script for its sequel titled ‘Billa-2’.

Ajith Kumar is now busy listening to various scripts as he is planning to couple of projects at the same time. Since, ‘Mangaatha’ will be taking off during the mid of August, the actor is now utilizing the time for the sake of finalizing script. With the attempts of impressing Ajith Kumar, Vishnuvardhan seems to have made an announcement through press channels that he has got the script for Billa-2 ready and will start shooting whenever, the actor gives Green Signal.
