“Mankatha,” helmed by director Venkat Prabhu, emerged as a blockbuster in actor Ajith Kumar’s repertoire. Since its debut in 2011, the film garnered significant attention, with fans clamoring for a sequel from the director. Notably, “Mankatha” represented a departure for Ajith, as it showcased his first portrayal of a negative character in a lead role.

In Malaysia, distribution rights for the movie have been secured by Lotus Five Star, signaling an exciting opportunity for fans to relive the cinematic experience.
The upcoming re-release of the heist thriller, featuring a star-studded cast including Ajith, Trisha, Arjun, Vaibhav, Premji, Lakshmi Rai, Andrea, and more, is eagerly anticipated to hit theaters on May 1st. This cult favorite is being reintroduced to audiences in celebration of Ajith’s 53rd birthday, adding to the excitement surrounding the event. Boasting a captivating soundtrack crafted by the renowned Yuvan Shankar Raja, “Mankatha” made waves at the box office upon its initial release in 2011, solidifying its status as a blockbuster hit.
Currently, Ajith is immersed in filming his latest project titled “Vidaa Muyarchi” alongside director Magizh Thirumeni.
